[Woodcarver] charges for teaching

[Mike Bloomquist]

Jim,
This comes with a large grain of salt, but check with your home owners insurance... it MAY cover you with your home shop.  Not having the facilities for teaching at home I can't really say.  My teaching venues have always been woodcarving clubs, art centers, and the Woodcraft stores which all have liability coverage that protects them (and you).  It's the #1 question to ask of your sponsor when you do teach outside your home.

Keep on Carvin'

  Hello.  I have been lurking for many years but now have a question.  This discussion of charges for teaching has been very interesting and informative for me.  I have been carving for 14 years but have never taught any classes.  Since I retired six months ago, I have been giving more thought to teaching.  My biggest concern is liability.  I have been in classes where I have seen students get seriously injured through no fault of the instructor.  As an instructor how do you protect yourself from the possibilty of a lawsuit.  And I am interested in how this would be done both in your own home/shop and in any outside locations.  Thanks

  Jim
