A career as an artist is not always all about making art, for some people it is also about making artists, teaching your skills to others so that they can make art too. It isn't for everyone, some see it as a chore and if that's the case then better to steer clear of it because you are unlikely to be a good teacher. However teaching can be immensely rewarding, financially, emotionally and in terms of what you as a teacher may learn from your students and from the process of unpicking your practice to teach it. Both Peter and Laura teach, having included it in their businesses for many years, alongside making art, both enjoy the challenge it brings. Today they talk about their experiences and how making teaching a part of your business can be more than just an additional revenue stream.
