Teaching for Quilt Guilds: Building Community and Skills in an Intimate Setting
I love working with quilt guilds to foster a sense of community while helping members learn and grow together. My guild-focused classes are tailored to fit the needs of both beginner and experienced quilters, creating an intimate, collaborative space where members can explore new techniques, share ideas, and build meaningful connections. For in-person guild classes, I can teach up to 20 students if an assistant is provided by the guild, while virtual classes allow for up to 30 members on Zoom. I also offer hybrid sessions, which can include a mix of in-person and virtual attendees.
Additionally, I provide shorter, dynamic sessions like demos and trunk shows, running 90 minutes to 2 hours, at $200 per session. These are perfect for guild meetings, providing a chance for members to enjoy a focused demonstration or dive into a topic of interest in a condensed, engaging format.
