Become an Instructor

Become a Shake Rag Alley Instructor

Timetable

We publish a new curriculum on Dec. 1 of each year. Instructors are expected to have all workshop information, including photos and supply lists, finalized by mid-October.

Instructor Prospectus

At Shake Rag Alley, we like to create a sense of community and an aura of fun and enthusiasm among our students and instructors. The networking and fellowship brings everyone new friends, new ideas, and new opportunities (and, we hope, for the artists, commissions and sales!).

Our classes are small, usually 9 or fewer students with minimums set at 3-5 students depending on what it takes to cover instructor fees while keeping student fees in line.

Workshops can range from one half day to a full day to two days or more. We have several classroom spaces on the historic Shake Rag Alley campus, as well as a large jewelry studio space, the Lind Pavilion around the corner, and the Sardeson Pottery Studio a five-minute walk away. When appropriate we also sometimes utilize other venues in the community or hold classes outdoors under tents or trees.
