Schroeder Studio Gallery Workshop
Etiquette
We
are so pleased that you have joined us for this workshop. We want you to have a
wonderful time and that the learning will be helpful in your growth as an
artist. The suggestions below are intended to make the workshop a positive and
pleasurable experience for all. They are gleaned from many workshops since
1998.
•
Please turn the sound OFF or set to “vibrate” on cell phones when class and
teaching begin. Ringing interrupts the instructor’s train of thought and is
annoying to your fellow painters. If you need to take a call, please step
outside to do so.
•
Be on time. If tardiness is unavoidable, please quietly try to catch up – the
instructor is not expected to start the lesson over.
•
When packing materials for the class, do include the necessary but please leave
your “studio” at home. We have limited space for each student.
•
Please arrive at class fragrance free for the comfort of participants and
instructors who may have allergies.
• Please don’t be demanding
of the teacher’s time. There is a room full of people who paid for the
workshop, too.
•
It is a courtesy to ask permission from the teacher before taking pictures of
samples and demonstrations. This goes for photographing other students and
their work as well.
•
All handouts and instructions are copyrighted and owned by the instructor.
Individual teachers have varying policies as to how their designs, handouts and
instructions may be used after a workshop. Please check
with your teacher before sharing the workshop materials in any form with
others.
• Be courteous to your tablemate.
Conversation might be enjoyable to you but others may require total
concentration and listening to constant chatter is disruptive.
• Be honest of your level of
experience. Don’t expect the teacher to know.
• Please, under no
circumstance, touch or take any of the demonstration pieces or artwork unless
you have permission from the teacher.
•
Please don’t eat or drink in the gallery. Also do not eat food or drink over
anyone’s artwork.
•
Then, first and foremost, ENJOY & HAVE FUN!
Wonderful post...I would say 99% of students are wonderful...but a 1% can upset the 99% who come prepared, eager, focused, thoughtful...
ReplyDeleteThank you!
All good things to remember. I saw a workshop teacher get VERY upset when someone picked up one of his brushes and started playing with it. Thank you for the gentle reminders.
ReplyDeleteOne wouldn't think adults would need these reminders, but it's true that not everything is obvious to everyone. I suffer from chemical sensitivies, so I very much appreicate your mentioning not wearing fragrances. That definitely is something that isn't known by a lot of people.
