Hi Everyone, 

Im in need of some advice and pointers. I have been approached by a college/university (UK). They have asked me about running a one day workshop for some students, teaching them how to turn hand lettering into a font. It's something I have never done before but would love to do.

Its one things showing a colleague and design friend how to do it, but this will be quite different 

How do I even begin to price something like this? 

I know im going to need a proper plan and structure, maybe a guide of sorts for them to take away - Very open to tips and advice!

Thanks :)

    You need to consider your prep time as well as the teaching time (and travel time, etc.)

    As a broad guideline I might take what you would normally charge as a nice hourly rate, and then multiply that by 2.5 or 3 to take into account that this is a relatively short-term gig.

    Or go even higher, so you have more room to negotiate!

    (Side note: If nobody ever blinks at your rate, you should probably raise your rate. If nobody blinks at that, do it again. Etc. This is how I figured out, over time, how much I was undercharging on my forensic work.)
