Teacher Application for the 2022 Festival
We welcome you to apply to teach at our 2022 festival. The application deadline is Sunday, April 17, 2022. Direct questions and send your photos to Chris Peters at cpetersusa@gmail.com.
- The Idaho Gourd Society (IDGS) is holding their 21st gourd festival on Saturday and Sunday, September 24 and 25, 2022 at Franz Witte Nursery in Nampa, Idaho. Classes will be held Thursday, Friday, Saturday and possibly Sunday, September 22 to 25.
- IDGS will administer the registration of classes. Teachers need to know and accept that IDGS will receive $10 per student (called, “student fee”) and that amount will be included in the tuition when the class is advertised. Students make their check payable to the teacher. You will be required to issue a check payable to IDGS for the student fees.
- Classes are full, half day and some can be shorter. We expect times will be 9:00 to 5:00, 9:00 to 1:00 and 1:00 to 5:00.
- IDGS will use your class description and photos for class registration and to advertise the classes on the IDGS website, on Facebook and on the venue’s website. Please take care to provide quality, high resolution photos (300 dpi is ideal), preferably on a light colored background. We ask for a photo of the teacher and up to two (2) photos of the class project. Save your photos with the following naming convention: LASTNAME_CLASSTITLE.
