Thank you for considering teaching for us!
We are inviting you to submit class proposals, both for in-person and virtual classes. For virtual classes, we encourage you to think about what classes in your portfolio can be easily taught virtually—that is, do not require much hands-on teacher-student interaction and can be executed with supplies students may already have. We are interested in various levels of classes—very simple classes are also encouraged, as people might not have the mental bandwidth to take very complex classes. Like always, we are looking for a variety of classes.
For our virtual events, we will send a webcam to you should you need it, to allow you to toggle back and forth between your face and your tabletop. If you need additional lighting, we can send that to you as well.
Applications are open to all who are interested in teaching for Vogue Knitting, no matter their age, race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, religion, gender identity, or political beliefs.
Note: There are many pages so that you can submit multiple classes. End whenever you are finished. Please leave enough time to submit all your classes, as the application won’t save if you don’t click submit. You can submit the application more than once.
Virtual Events:
Each class is 2 hours long, and we set each class at 30 students unless you request otherwise. We will send you an attendance list for each class, and you will also be able to see and interact with your students and take attendance on Zoom. During your class, we will be dropping by to check in and make sure that you do not have any issues. Lectures (in webinar mode) are each 1 hour and will cap at 500 students. Our staff will moderate questions that are typed into the chat function and will convey important questions to the lecturer. At this time we are not going to be offering any classes as exclusive, but we will consider this in the future.
