CURRENT CONTRACT AND FEES
I sincerely appreciate your interest in hiring me to teach and lecture at your group event. This page is a summary of my current fees, accommodation details and other relevant information. More details can be found in my contract and I’m happy to discuss any questions you may have. If you want to schedule me, please email me for a current contract.
MINIMUM AND SHARED BOOKINGS
The amount of time booked must equal or exceed the travel time to get to and from the event. For example, if total travel time from my home to your location is 5 hours each way (total 10 hours), then the minimum booking would be one full-day workshop and a Lecture booked on the same day. Other combinations will be discussed prior to contract signing. If your event is within 2 hour driving time from my home, the minimum booking is a single Trunk Show/Lecture or a half-day workshop. You may combine events with another group in your immediate area to meet the minimum booking and share expenses.
Non-teaching days – between a lecture and workshop or between multiple workshops – must be discussed and will require an additional fee and accommodations.
LECTURE FEES
All lectures are 60-90 minutes. Trunk show includes quilts and other items.
- $350 for a Lecture and Trunk Show and Question and Answer session when booked for the evening immediately following a full day workshop or on the same day as a half-day workshop.
