QUILT ALONG WITH RANAE LIVE IN HER STUDIO—JOIN THE FREE-MOTION MASTERY IN A MONTH FACEBOOK GROUP!
If your organization would like to book me for a workshop or other event, the best way to contact me is by email. Most workshops and events are available in person and via live online video.
The information below will provide many answers; more detailed explanations can be found in the information packet that accompanies the contract.
(If you are a store owner, please contact me by email or phone to discuss your event.)
If your organization has its own contract, please cross out any sections that are in conflict with RaNae's contract and send both contracts.
Completed contracts and accompanying documents should be scanned as PDF files and emailed to the address found in the information packet and contract. (Please do not send JPGs or photos of the contract.) Please be aware that If you mail a paper contract and/or mail a physical check, because of RaNae's heavy travel schedule it may take a few weeks to return a signed contract to you.
A W-9 form will be sent with the countersigned contract.
If you have questions, please contact RaNae here.

Enrollment of over 25 students:
If you would like to enroll more than 25 students in a workshop, please check before doing so. While we would like to be able to accommodate everyone who wants to take a class, having more students in class means each student receives less of RaNae's time, so special arrangements may need to be made for large workshops and additional materials must be prepared ahead of time.
Contract, Deposit & Cancellation:
A deposit of $150 per workshop or lecture is due with the signed contract. In case of cancellation, please refer to the cancellation policy spelled out in the contract.
Note: Please schedule 6 hours of class time, plus time for lunch. For online classes longer than 3 hours, I recommend splitting into two sessions on different days. Add’l students must be confirmed before class.
Minimum Bookings for In-Person classes:The amount of teaching time must equal or exceed the travel time to and from the event plus days at the event not spent teaching. For example, if travel time to your event is 4 hours each way (8 hours round trip) the minimum booking would be one full-day workshop, or a Trunk show and a half-day workshop within the same day. If travel time to your event is a full day each way, the minimum booking would be 2 full days (any combination of workshops and lectures). If your event is within 2 hours of New York City, the minimum is a single Trunk Show/Lecture or half-day workshop. You may combine events with another presenter to meet the minimum booking. If in doubt, ask.
Note: Two half-day classes and a lecture may be scheduled in a one day, but 3 half-day classes may not be scheduled in one day. See Explanation of Fees and Expenses for more info and cancellation policy.
Shared Bookings: You may combine events with another presenter to meet the minimum booking and share expenses. When possible, we will help you combine your event with other events in RaNae's calendar.
All lodging, meals and travel expenses are the responsibility of the presenter. A complete description of expenses is contained in the Contract. Travel arrangements will be made keeping in mind both practicality and economy. In some cases, lodging may be provided in guild members' homes, provided the accommodations are non-smoking, private, clean and quiet; this should be arranged in advance. Meals may be provided by members or in restaurants, as suits the situation. (Please provide low-fat, low-carb meals with plenty of vegetables.) In order to simplify accounting, a per diem may be assessed on days when meals are not provided by the presenter.
Shared expenses: As a general rule, expenses of cooperating presenters will be divided equally (or prorated, if appropriate) among them. If RaNae has scheduled several separate presenters in a trip, travel to and accommodations at each presenter will be the responsibility of each presenter.
Materials lists for all workshops are available as downloadable PDF documents on the individual webpage for each workshop. These may be provided to students in print, or by a link in a website or email. Text-only versions are also included at the bottom of most class description pages, which can be cut-and-pasted into your newsletter or website. If more than a few months have passed since you booked the event, please check the website for an updated materials list.
