Re: [h-cost] pricing guidelines?

At least mmwage for actual hours on the job as well as class prep.? All out of 
pocket expenses from thread and needles to gas. Then there is the matter of 
professional? recognition for your expertise. If you start with that, then it 
should be understood that an additiona fee would be expected for your time and 
expenses.? Is this a for=profit enterprise or community activity.

Subject: [h-cost] pricing guidelines?Hi--
I am terrible at pricing my work and time. May I please ask for some advice 
from you all?
I've been approached about helping run a week of summer camp focused on 19th c. 
sewing. I'd bring the girls behind the scenes at a local museum to look at 
collections, lecture on 19th c. fashion developments, show reproductions for 
them to try on (already existing, not made for this camp), teach some hands-on 
techniques. I'm not running the camp, but I'd be one of the main teachers.
The organizer is asking for pricing and I simply have no idea what to tell her. 
I'm guessing my daily involvement during the 5 days would be usually about 2-3 
hours, however there would be a good deal of prep work I'd be doing ahead of 
time.
What say you?
Many thanks,
Astrida

Thank you Audrey for the question - I needed this info, as well.  And thank 
you, Sheridan for this link.  This seems to be the best out of all I have seen.
