Getting paid to teach, explained.

Pitch a workshop through this portal. You describe what you would teach, how long it should run and the fee you want for your time. Our team reviews every proposal, agrees a flat fee with you in euros, and confirms a date.

You are paid a fixed fee for the workshop, agreed in writing before anything is announced. Your fee does not depend on how many tickets sell. We take the commercial risk on ticketing, you get paid for teaching.

Artists, makers, designers, writers, musicians, researchers and general obsessives. You do not need a teaching qualification or a big following. First-time teachers and long-time educators are both welcome.

We work with hosts anywhere in the world, and workshops can be taught in any language as long as we can describe it clearly to the audience.

Specific and slightly odd beats broad and generic. The best pitches are one thing you cannot stop talking about: a technique, a material, a process, a way of seeing, taught hands-on rather than lectured.

Past hosts have run sessions on drawing, painting, printmaking, ceramics, sound, movement, writing, tattoo styling, collage and plenty of things that resist a category.

The standard format is a single online session of roughly one to two hours. If your subject needs more room, you can propose a course of several sessions. You choose the number of sessions and the length of each in the proposal form, and the fee is agreed on that basis.

Most are online, which is how we get a room full of people from different countries. In-person workshops are possible where the venue and logistics work; you say which format you want when you pitch, and we work out the practicalities with you.

You design and teach the session, and show up prepared. We do the boring parts: audience and promotion, ticketing and payments, the sign-up list, scheduling, reminders, the contract and paying you.

You can see how many people have signed up for your workshop, and who they are, in your host dashboard as tickets sell.

We need roughly six weeks between confirming a workshop and the date it runs, so there is time to promote it properly and fill the room. If you do not have a date in mind, our team will suggest one that fits the promotion window.

Create an account in the host portal and fill in the proposal form: what you would teach, a few guiding questions about the session, availability, the format and the fee you want. It takes about five minutes.

A member of our team reads it, and we come back to you either way. If we want to run it, we agree the fee and date, then send a contract before anything is published.

By bank transfer against the agreed fee, once the contract is in place and the workshop has run. We ask for your billing address and bank details in the portal so payment is not held up at the end.

Yes, and most hosts do. Once you have run one session you can pitch further workshops or a course from the same portal account, and you get early access to new formats we are testing.
