I have a portable machine that can be used in front of an audience up to a practical limit of 7 rows deep. This assumes that the back rows have good eyesight and hearing! At these shows I talk through what I am doing and explain the whole process or as much of it that the audience seems interested in. I encourage continuous questions because I work best with a freewheeling interactive style with no fixed subject matter save the ongoing project. Only relatively simple things are made at these shows, mushrooms or bottle stoppers and to avoid the scramble I used to get, whatever is made is given to the organizer to auction. With a good, interested crowd and a pleasant evening, this helps cover my fee.

Fees are £15 per hour on site and 20p per mile (round trip). Typically these evenings could go on indefinitely but are usually brought to a close by other considerations with around 2 hours on the clock. Where there are budgetary constraints however I can work to a limit.

 Where there is a possibility of significant sales of goods or courses then fees become negotiable downwards!
