You’ve honed your candle-making skills and are eager to share your passion with others. You envision hosting workshops, teaching enthusiasts the art of candle crafting, and fostering a community around your craft. But the path to organising successful workshops feels uncertain.
Transitioning from crafting candles to teaching others presents challenges:
- How do you structure a workshop effectively?
- What preparations are necessary to ensure a smooth experience?
- How do you handle payments, bookings, and customer follow-ups?
- What equipment and insurance are required?
Without clear guidance, these uncertainties can be daunting.
