Craft workshops and lessons — pottery, ceramics, knitting
A weekend pottery workshop, a crochet course or embroidery lessons for a child: craft classes run online, in a studio or at your place. Describe what you want to learn, and instructors will send responses. Or choose an instructor yourself — by portfolio pieces, prices and client reviews.
Craft instructors
How much craft workshops and lessons cost
What affects the price
Pottery wheel or hand-building
Lessons on a pottery wheel often cost more than hand-building: each student needs a wheel of their own and more of the instructor's attention.
Firing and glazing
Kiln firing and glazing may be included in the workshop price or paid for separately, often per piece.
Materials and tools
Clay, yarn, needles, canvas, floss or beads may be included in the lesson price, or bought separately from the instructor's list.
A single class or a course
A workshop introduces a technique in one session, while a course takes you from the basics to pieces of your own, and its price often covers all the sessions at once.
Group, one-to-one lesson or home visit
A place in a group usually costs less than a one-to-one lesson, and the price of a workshop at your home or office also covers travel and delivering the materials.
Prices come from specialists' profiles on Nexperity and update automatically. You agree the final price with the specialist directly.

How to choose a craft instructor
- 1
Pieces in the portfolio
Look at photos of the instructor's work: even walls on a mug, a neat back of the embroidery or uniform stitches in knitted pieces say more about their level than a description.
- 2
When the finished piece is ready
A clay piece has to dry and be fired, and a glazed one usually needs a second firing, so it is ready only after a few weeks. Ask when and how you can collect it.
- 3
Online or in a studio
Knitting and embroidery can be learned online too, if the instructor sees your hands clearly on camera. A pottery wheel and firing need a workshop, so choose in-person lessons for those.
- 4
Experience with beginners and children
Getting an adult to sit at the wheel for the first time and keeping a group of preschoolers busy with clay are different skills. Ask which ages and levels the instructor has taught.
- 5
How many people in a group
Ask how many students there will be: in a large group the instructor gets around to each student less often, and a beginner at the pottery wheel especially needs their help.
What to put in the order
What you want to learn: wheel pottery, clay modeling, knitting, embroidery or sculpture
Who the lessons are for: you, a child or a group — ages and the number of participants
Your experience: starting from scratch or having tried the technique — and what you want to make
A single workshop or a course, how often and on which days you can attend
Format: online, in the instructor's studio or at your place — and your district
Materials: your own or the instructor's, and payment per lesson or for the course
Questions about Nexperity
How Nexperity works — separately for clients and for specialists
For clients
Nothing. Searching for specialists, sending requests, posting orders and receiving responses are free.
No. You agree the price and the payment method with the specialist and pay them directly. Nexperity does not take payments and is not a party to your deal.
A request goes to one specialist — from their profile. An order is posted for everyone: specialists send you responses, and you choose which one to accept.
How the specialist will do the task, a price — fixed, a range, hourly or “on request” — and, optionally, an estimated timeline.
30 days from publication: all that time it is visible in the feed and specialists can send responses. The exact end date and time are shown on the order in your account. From that moment the order is closed and a response can no longer be accepted. You can cancel it earlier, and if no specialist turned up, post a new one.
Yes: you can hide your name and photo in an order. The anonymity lasts until acceptance — the specialist whose response you accept sees your name and photo. The task description is public: anyone visiting the site can read it.
Only after acceptance — when you accept their response or they accept your request. And only the contacts you chose to show.
After acceptance you see the contacts the specialist chose to show, and they see the ones you chose. You can also message on Nexperity when the chat is on: on an order you decide that, on a direct request the specialist does.
Once the work is done, mark the order or the collaboration completed in your account — then you can say whether you recommend the specialist. A review can only be left for a collaboration that happened through Nexperity: one per specialist, which you can change or delete at any time.
For specialists
Nothing for now: this is the free period, and no subscription is needed yet. Nexperity takes no commission on deals — you settle with the client directly.
Sign up, fill in your specialist profile and add your services — each with a category, a description and a price. Once the profile is complete, it appears in search and on the category pages.
Two ways: clients send you requests from your profile, which you can accept or decline; and you see public orders in your categories in your account and can respond to them.
You describe how you will do the task and give a price and, optionally, a timeline. The client compares responses and accepts one.
Contacts set to “Public” are visible to everyone on your profile. A client sees contacts set to “After connection” once you accept their request or they accept your response. “Hidden” ones are not revealed in new connections: a contact already revealed to a client stays visible to them.
Each service has a fixed price, a range, an hourly rate or “on request”. Prices show on your profile and in search results, and you agree the final price with the client.
Through search and the category pages of your services. The order depends on your clients' reviews — how many of them recommend you — and in search also on how well your services match the query.
A photo, a description, your region and way of working — online or in person — your contacts and a portfolio: photos of your work, each with a short caption if you like.
A client leaves a review after completed work, and only for a collaboration through Nexperity: they say whether they recommend you and may add a few words. Each client counts once, however many times you work together.
