Option 4 Lyric takes direct payment from students at NO COST TO YOUR GUILD Option
$35 per student for a 3hr class and $65 per student for a 6hr class.
You choose a course and a date, I set up the class online and each student signs up and pays me directly.
The class is still a live class.
You share the advertising material and link I provide for the class and promote the class to your guild as often as you can.
Two weeks before the course starts I open up empty slots to my newsletter subscribers.
Please only use this option if you think at least 10 students will sign up for the course.
To be clear, if you choose this option the guild does not pay me anything for the class but it is still included in our contract.
Lyric takes a limited number of gigs on a first come, first served basis. She does not lecture or teach on Sunday.

OTHER QUESTIONS:
Why a booking fee? I take limited gigs. If you book me, then cancel because of low enrollment, you have wasted a slot that another guild was turned down for. It is not an extra fee as it is deducted from the teaching fee. It is just a little extra incentive for you to fill your classes.
Why a higher cost per hour for a 3 hour class? Because it takes me as long to prepare for and set up and make kits for a 3 hour class as it does for a 6 hour class. It's typical to spend a full day prepping (making kits, ordering supplies, packing and shipping) for every class I teach.
Will you stay with a guild member to save on hotel costs? Sure. I do require a private room and bathroom and no smoking or pets. I have enough annoying allergies that if I sleep in a house with pets I'll be coughing and wheezing and snarky and tired all the next day. That's not fun for me or the students in class! You can find a "care and feeding of lyric" F.A.Q. here.
LECTURES Lyric currently offers four lectures. Detailed descriptions can be found here. The first two are powerpoint/slide type lectures. I bring my own equipment but you will need to have a room that can darken and have a screen or wall for me to project onto. The wearable art lecture can be turned into a really fun participants fashion show added into the wearables I have made.
- The Elements of Art for Quilters: teaches basic design in an understandable way to every kind of quilter.
- Living Lyrically: inspires everyone to make use of the creativity they have by finding inspiration, beauty, and joy everywhere they look.
- Excuse Me, Is that a quilt you're wearing?: live fashion show with local participation.
- Want to Teach?: business development lecture for aspiring quilt-circuit teachers.
- Failure is an Option!: why making bad art is vital to good artists - more of a group discussion geared towards art quilters but applicable to anyone who MAKES things.
Who anyone ready for a really great time?
Lyric has taught for every kind of venue from huge conferences to private studio lessons.
Why because you really want to have fun!
Let Lyric bring her passion for sparking the creativity in others to you!
When at your convenience!
