GUIDELINES FOR TEACHERS 2022

Classes and Workshops are an important and integral part of our mission at The Art Supply Depo. It is our goal to provide the highest quality of Art Education to inspire our customers to use new materials and gain confidence in their ability to create.  As a facilitator of our Art Education component, you are an essential and valued part of our team. Teachers should maintain a professional studio/class environment where students are comfortable, encouraged to ask questions, take creative risk and interact with other students.

EXPECTATIONS

·We aim to keep our workshop schedule unique. If you are teaching at other venues, they should be far enough away not to pose a conflict. Our class prices and your teaching fees must be similar. Students do shop around.

·Materials required for your class must be decided in advance and submitted in writing so we can stock them for students to purchase. If you are providing materials for your class, you must be prepared with them when you arrive. Teachers should take note of what we stock and ask us in advance for what we can special order. Teachers will not refer students to Michaels, Hobby Lobby or online sources.

·Post Covid, we do not keep any materials for teacher or student use. WE PROVIDE ADVERTISING, PROMOTION, TABLES, CHAIRS + CLEANING SUPPLIES. We no longer supply ANY incidental materials or equipment. If you need It, you or your students must bring it. We also do not provide ANY storage space for teacher or student materials outside of or between classes. All materials must come and go with teachers and students each class.

·Teachers are expected to promote their classes through their own email and social media.

·The studio in our Sylvania shop will comfortably accommodate up to 7 students. All classes will be capped at 7 students max. The Bowling Green location is not offering workshops at this time.

· Classes must be scheduled during our regular operating hours. If your class extends beyond this timeframe, we will deduct $20.00 per hour to have an employee on site.

·Teachers will arrive at least 30 minutes or more before your class is scheduled to begin and check in with a Depo employee. We do not provide any assistance unloading your vehicle or setting up your class. Plan to be set up 20 minutes before your class begins so you are fully prepared to greet your students and assist them with purchasing supplies if needed.

·Clean up! Tables and sink must be thoroughly cleaned before leaving. Be sure to inspect the floor for scraps. There is a broom and dustpan to sweep it up. You will be paid after the studio is cleaned and returned to the condition in which you found it.

·There is a waste can for oily paper towels and anything else which should not go down the drains.

·Following these guidelines will ensure that all teachers and students have a clean, functional and organized space in which to work.

·If you have any other questions, call us send an email. Inquiries should be directed to Katie or Jules. We are here to help!
