New Class Policies for Instructors

Monroe Arts Association

Class Policies

As MAA is now established and we’re able to look at costs associated with running

classes, the Board of Directors has approved new policies regarding teaching classes at

MAA.

The following financial policies will be in effect beginning June 1, 2025:

1. There will be a $25 usage fee for EACH DATE of building usage.

2. MAA will maintain a $10 fee assessed for each student who attends a class.

This means if it’s a $60 three-session class, MAA receives $10 and the

teacher $50.

3. Classes should be scheduled a minimum of one month prior to the first class.

Fee example:

Billie is hosting a suncatcher workshop consisting of 3 sessions on 3 successive

weekends.

The cost of the class is $60. The class enrolls 6 students.

6 students at $60 = 360.

MAA gets $10 for each student = $60.

In addition, MAA gets $25 for each date the class meets = $75.

75+60=135

MAA will receive $135.

360-135=225

The teacher will receive $225.

Teachers should consider these new fees when determining class prices. However, we

still encourage teachers to remember that this is a rural area and class fees should be

accessible to a wide audience.

English Paper Piecing Hand Quilting

English Paper Piecing (Epp) is a hand quilting method that uses small pieces of fabric attached to a paper shape with glue or traditional thread basting. The papers allow the maker to use a variety of leftover fabric types, giving you a stable structure as you sew. As it is handwork, once prepared, the pieces can be stitched together in your free time.
