How do you know when you are ready to teach?

Remember the golden rule about teaching … not all great artists are great teachers.  Before you take the plunge ask yourself, why do you want to teach?

What are the reasons to teach?
  • share what you know
  • make additional income
  • get inspired by your students and learn
  • push yourself out of your comfort zone
There are lots of different types of teaching opportunities for artists so make sure you understand your skills vs. your potential students
  • understand who your audience should be (beginners, artists, students)
  • don’t get in too deep – understand what your knowledge is and don’t over promise what you will be teaching
  • fill a niche in your community – teach kids, local artists, senior citizens
  • teach locally - start small and work your way up
  • Ease in to teaching with open studio once a week (offer instruction and help) while artists work on their own projects.
  • start by volunteering at school
  • teach weekly classes (one night a week)
  • graduate to multi-day workshops
  • apprentice with another artist
  • team teach with another artist
On my next blog post I will let you know how to start if you are ready to teach.
