Instructor Fee
The workshop instructor’s fee comes directly from the participants’ fees. Typically a
minimum of 8 participants are needed in order for the workshop “to make.” SCRAP Bin
will keep 25% of the proceeds for our costs. Depending on the workshop, a materials fee
may be charged in addition to the workshop registration fee.
SCRAP Bin will promote your workshop through our monthly mailings and on our
website. We encourage the workshop instructor to also spread the word to generate
interest in his/her upcoming workshop.
