    I teach technique classes only. I don't teach the designs I sell for
    a living, but more basic beginner and intermediate classes, so
    students can get a grasp of how to hold tools, how to manipulate
    metal, etc. 

    I have to come up with designs for the class, naturally, but since
    I'm not giving away any of my trade secrets (such as they are
    ~tongue in cheek~), I don't worry much about being copied. I know
    some students will just make the class design for years, but that
    doesn't really affect the selling of my own work.
