    Our local beading store used to have something similar to what Sarah plans to do. It was simply called soldering class, not silversmith and not a course. As I remember correctly, it was around $100 per hour, but I don't remember it was with or without materials.

    Oh, and the teacher was a young guy freshly graduated from some jewelry course.

    That does sound like a nice idea Sarah, I know of quite a few folk who would enjoy the chance to meet, make and cake!! I think the PPL is a necessity, but I would also check out your house insurance, that it's okay to have people on your 'home' premises for business purposes!!

    Good luck!!

    totally agree with you Jill.

    I have had my house insurance renewed with the business purposes added and it was surprisingly under £20 for the year! Bargain and so needed.

    I think it sounds like a good idea too. Hope it works out for you.

    The difficulty I always have is when I have several people approach me asking for a lesson but not wanting to pay the one to one fee. At the moment I've got 3 people wanting a class but I can't find a date that suits everyone. I prefer to have a group as, although they all pay less, I get more - win, win!

    When I get time (yeah right!) I plan to advertise classes where everyone makes the same thing, which would make my life so much easier. I just can't work out what would be universally popular. It may be something enamelled.
