[Jewelry making - Article 00108] - [Orchid] Teaching Lost Wax Casting & Silversmithing

    Over the years I have been approached many times by people that
    wanted to learn basic silversmithing as well as lost wax casting. I
    have always avoided teaching jewelry making due to my fear of law
    suites in case someone is hurt. 

    I am now thinking that I would like to do a little teaching locally
    but I would like to do it as a one on one basis and not in a larger
    class room setting. 

    My question is in several parts: 

    1- do any of you that teach jewelry have the students signed some
    kind of a release with them acknowledging that there is the
    possibility of being hurt. If so could you share what you have them
    sign and is it legally binding? 

    2- Since I do not want to make this as a full time career move I was
    thinking of working with someone on an hourly basis instead of a
    course basis. Do any of you work this way and if so what would be a
    fair fee per hour to learn basic Silversmithing as well as wax
    carving and lost wax casting?
