‘Art Garage Pounds’ are now in circulation.

I ran this for the first time today and it worked amazingly!

- students have £20 per lesson - my opinion and advice are free - my physical help with the materials costs £10 a time.

The Rules!

•It will cost your table if anybody shouts/interupts. •It will cost your table if anybody behaves poorly. •It will cost your table if anybody does not settle quickly to learn or tidy up quickly. •It will cost your table if anybody asks me something that I have already explained at the beginning of the lesson. •It will NOT cost your table if anybody asks me something that I did not explain at the beginning of the lesson.

The Rules!

• Your table can charge other tables for help and advice.

• In other words you can undercut Mr. Grayson to earn cash!!!
