Back Cover Text:
Anyone with an artistic skill such as painting, drawing, or pottery can start their own successful art teaching business. Many people interested in learning an artistic skill don’t have the space, materials, or facilities to learn on their own at home, and art schools provide them with a place they can go to learn with others without having to purchase expensive looms, kilns, easels, and other such equipment. Children, teens, adults — they are all looking to do art in their free time.
This book shows you step by step how you can start your own successful art teaching business, whether it’s at your home or at a rented studio. It will show you how to develop and customize not only classes, but also art camps, birthday parties, and artist’s retreats. Learn how to set up classrooms, find students, provide great customer service, and ensure the business remains profitable — and generate the creative spark in your students, staff, and community.
Whatever your artistic skill, with the right business plan and a bit of savvy you can start your own successful business teaching art to others.
