upon their tutors. I am both a student and tutor in the field of quilting so I have experienced expectations on both sides of the fence. When I decide to attend a workshop as a student, the most important outcome for me is to receive what I call VT & VM; Value for Time, followed closely by Value for Money. My time and how it is expended is extremely important to me. As it is, I’m never going to get every quilt I desire to make, completed in two lifetimes, let alone one! So for me, time is of the essence. I expect to be fully informed about the nature of the workshop to facilitate a decision on whether to take the workshop or not. A Workshop Outline is an excellent way of imparting critical information to prospective students. I expect to be informed in a few simple paragraphs by the actual tutor, on the type of class being offered, together with the anticipated outcomes, methods and modus operandi of reaching those outcomes. Standard Online Quilt Magazine – Vol. 3 No. 10 The Workshop Outline should not only contain the core information of what, why, where, when and how of the workshop on offer, but a comprehensive list of requirements and materials needed including specific tools required to enable me to achieve a successful outcome. I would also expect that if this workshop is aimed at a specific level of skills (i.e. advanced skills required), that this essential information is explained clearly in the Workshop Outline. I would expect there to be a guideline provided to students outlining what skills determine an advanced student. I expect that tutors will ensure that tools and equipment required for the workshop are available and in stock and there is ample supply, so that all the students can be catered for, which means no wasting precious time in borrowing of equipment from other students.

oomy, well lit, have comfortable tables and seating, and have plenty of access to sufficient peripheral equipment such as cutting boards, ironing boards and the like. Punctuality of start and finish times is a very important expectation for me. I make arrangements to fit around my workshop, and so I expect the start and finish times to be adhered to. I have a very reasonable expectation that I won’t find myself in a workshop bursting at the seams with students. I expect to be able to learn in an area and environment that is favourable and conducive to a happy and successful experience. This takes me to my expectations of the tutor. I expect the tutor to fulfil my expectations of learning. I trust that the tutor has the knowledge and skills and desire to impart knowledge in a friendly and amiable demeanour. It is important that the tutor has a “generosity of spirit”.
