Jewelry Making Classes Conclusion

As I said, I had some limited success in teaching jewelry making classes. The biggest problem was getting the word out. The place I found to teach the classes did not offer any help in promoting them. However, when I did get enough students to take a class, I found it was not only enjoyable for the students and myself, but by bringing extra kits, beads, and findings to class, I’m also was able to make a nice little profit.

If had I spent more time promoting myself, then I believe I would have been even more successful. I taught at a local community center, but you could also teach for groups such as home schoolers, scout groups, or 4-H clubs. Deciding on the where, what, how, and who will depend on your schedule, expertise, and taste. You may have to try a few methods before you find a teaching process that works best for you, but hopefully, you now have a few basic ideas to help you create a jewelry class curriculum.
