Small craft classes from your home studio

Adults looking for a creative hobby, friends booking a group session, and people buying a class as a gift.

Price per student per class, plus optional materials kits. Short workshops and multi-week courses can both be offered.

• A craft you can do confidently
• Clear, patient teaching
• Organising materials and bookings

• Check with your local council whether you need approval to run classes from home, including parking and visitor numbers
• Public liability insurance for students on your property
• Safety with tools, hot equipment or dust, and whether your home insurance covers business use
• Check whether you need an ABN and when GST registration applies

Startup costs are typically around $500 to $3,000, depending on the craft, the tools and materials you need, and how you set up your spare room or garage. These are estimates, not quotes.

Check with your local council whether you need approval to run classes from home, including parking and visitor numbers. Also check public liability insurance for students, whether your home insurance covers business use, and whether you need an ABN or GST registration.

Monthly revenue is typically around $300 to $2,000, depending on class size, your pricing and how many sessions you run. The estimates assume a minimum of about 5 hours a week, so treat them as a rough guide.
