I charge x per lesson, and I think this would require x number of lessons."<BR/><BR/>That will either shut them up or earn me some extra money. ;)<BR/><BR/>I hate the people who say "Oh, my kid/sister/friend/self could make THIS!"<BR/><BR/>I always want to say "Oh, good. Why don't you go do that then and stop wasting my time?" But of course, I just smile and nod instead.<BR/><BR/>Great post.<BR/><BR/>Jen M.<BR/>http://dragonrags.etsy.comJenJenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10736134123414438290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8457067849270234444.post-15927661146267076992008-07-06T19:39:00.000-04:002008-07-06T19:39:00.000-04:00Aren't some of the people at shows "amazing" with ...Aren't some of the people at shows "amazing" with what they come up with!! It boggles my mind that they don't realize how rude they are!! lol!<BR/><BR/>Sometimes I have to have a comeback, if they are really too obnoxious, but I always do it in a very nice, kidding way!!<BR/><BR/>Think of all the nice people out there though, that we get to meet.<BR/><BR/>DONNADZFANTASYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14276066068947301493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8457067849270234444.post-87163737506796946462008-07-05T19:39:00.000-04:002008-07-05T19:39:00.000-04:00I love to sit back and listen to what people say a...I love to sit back and listen to what people say at shows. Some of it is just amazing.<BR/>You are right about people remembering things from experience. In my first ceramics class in college, I decided to make a ballerina. She was lovely, but everyday I would come in and the arms or legs would have fallen off. The teacher showed me how to stick them back on. This went on all semester. I gave up and made coil and slab pieces! At the end of the class, the prof finally told me that, to keep things like arms and legs on, I needed to use wire inside or start on an armature. I remembered that well when I started teaching clay units years later! <BR/>I guess after teaching art all those years, I just can't help but teach what I know to anyone who seems to need to know something. Never thought of charging. I guess that is why I'm so poor! <BR/>I gave up doing the outdoor shows after so many of my framed watercolors would get broken due to things like wind. <BR/>Good luck with the customers and sales! You handled them so well.Ceceliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16132398614175975739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8457067849270234444.post-7310287494357598812008-07-04T13:04:00.000-04:002008-07-04T13:04:00.000-04:00Stunned and in disbelief at those comments!
