crochetmania.myfastforum.org :: Need help with my next class

Most of you know I teach crochet classes at the local Hobby Lobby. I just finished testing Shelle's Molly Sweater which is just beautiful! (I will be posting pics later today). Several people have inquired about learning how to make sweaters and such so I thought what a neat thing to teach.

So my question is: What's a reasonable price?
I figure this will be a 4 week class at least. I usually charge $15-$20 for beginner or advanced beginner classes that are a one time deal.

Any advice on this would be great. I don't want to overprice it, yet I don't want to undercut myself either...

I would take the class if you were around here.....dangit!
I really want to make a sweater but am so intimidated. I've made a 'little girl'
dress but.........

I guess the big question is, are you including mateials? If not, I think 25'ish....then each student buys their own materials from a list you provide. The way I look at it, if you overprice....you don't have many students....but if you underprice, you will have more students...and make more money....hopefully....

I paid $25 for a 6 week class and got 10% off all supplies purchased on the first night of the class. It was at Michael's.

Charge for an advanced class and make them provide their own materials. Honestly i would have thought you would have been able to figure your prices at this stage as you have been teaching for a while now.
