Dependent on where held (say at Ghost Ranch kinda place), whether they include staying overnight and food etcetc.<br /><br /> Taos is a big art city and also there are rich people there so probably best to charge both what makes you feel you are getting paid enough for your time and what the local area will handle. For example here in the boonies, no way I could charge $100/day since no one would take the workshop unless i was famous.<br /><br />Cape Cod is also expensive, filled w/artists and many workshops and there I could charge more for a weekend workshop than up here.<br /><br />I think you should just put it out there and see what happens. If you charge the $100/day and enough people to satisfy you sign up then you know you are on the right track.<br /><br />I also advise providing liquid libation and dessert and let them bring their bag lunch though, at least the first time or so, to see how the money works out in actuality.<br /><br />Is the Blue Fish clothing store still there in Taos? I wonder if I've been to this cafe??? Good luck. Sounds fun and exciting.sukipoethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09351851210507048174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7605417514477511121.post-7053802887952185602010-05-24T08:03:02.417-07:002010-05-24T08:03:02.417-07:00Becky-Thank you, yes, the rent is a big factor in ...Becky-Thank you, yes, the rent is a big factor in my cost, and I did paint a little today :-).xoxo<br />Suki-Taos is very expensive to live in and I have to factor in supplies which are a lot, Venetian plaster costs 40 a can and I have to go to Santa Fe to buy it and the pigment has to be orderd on the web, plus I am sure the space will not be cheap. If I was having the class in my home I would not have to charge as much, but a girl has to make a living, I have no money (yet) :-).<br />Melanie-What are you up to? xoxoAnniehttp://blissful-bohemian.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7605417514477511121.post-17632097611558512052010-05-24T02:31:06.037-07:002010-05-24T02:31:06.037-07:00Brilliant idea Annie.

Ive both taken and given workshops in writing though. but also taken visual workshops but i need to look some things up re: the ones I took and costs. <br /><br />I have never charged very much for workshops I give. on the other hand i taught for awhile at the community college. that was just pennies but it gave me good experience and built up a following so to speak.sukipoethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09351851210507048174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7605417514477511121.post-56379937691990499412010-05-23T09:06:48.365-07:002010-05-23T09:06:48.365-07:00Sounds like a great idea, Annie.

Also I live in a very expensive town! I am thinking of a weekend course of 5-6 hours a day<br />and charging 75-100 a day, it depends on how much he wants a day for the space and if he gives me a good deal we might work it out that I provide lunch too. Also I need at least 6-10 people to make it worth the effort. I am getting emails from artist friends who have paid up to 110 a day for 3-5 hours, so I think I am in the ball park.
