A note from Jenna
online wax seal teacher

We're looking for a cyanotype artist to build this workshop with us. We handle the marketing.

Hi, I'm Jenna. I teach wax seal art online, and I've been exactly where you might be right now: great at the craft, lost on the marketing. So I partnered with my husband's small ad team. This season, we're funding one cyanotype artist to record a workshop with us. We pay you an upfront licensing fee, run every ad, and send monthly royalties on every sale. You keep your work, your name, and your audience.

Takes about 3 minutes

Sun, water, a fern
Cyanotype prints, made at a
kitchen table. The kind we fund.

Three things, in plain English.

When I first heard about this kind of arrangement, I wanted someone to just tell me what I was actually agreeing to. So here it is, with no fine print, no clever clauses, and no "we'll discuss that later."

one.

You get paid upfront, then on every sale.

$1,000 lands within seven days of signing, the other $1,000 the moment we approve your final recording. That upfront licensing fee is yours to keep even if it never sells a copy. After that, you earn monthly royalties on every sale our ads make, paid within a week of each month's end with a full report. If your cyanotype course already exists, we skip the filming and the upfront is $1,500 instead.

two.

We handle all the marketing.

Sales page, ads, ad spend, refunds, hosting, the whole stack. You will never write a marketing email or answer a refund request. The team behind this has been running ads for eleven years. They know the part most makers dread, and they take it off your plate completely.

three.

You keep printing everywhere else.

We license this one workshop. You keep your name, your audience, your print sales, your other classes, and the right to teach cyanotype on YouTube, Skillshare, Domestika, or in your own studio, forever. We're not asking for exclusivity over your craft.

We've already designed the workshop. We just need the artist.

We don't pick niches at random. We've studied cyanotype, mapped out a beginner workshop, designed the look, and built a full sales page for it. Here's a peek at what we make. What we can't fake is a real artist's hands and voice. That part is you.

From a handful of plants to a framed print, with sunlight doing the work. This is the transformation our ads sell, and the one you already know how to teach.

To be clear: these are our own mockups, not a script you have to copy. If we build a workshop together, we shape the outline around how you actually print, and your style and voice lead. If you already teach cyanotype, even better. We license what you've built. Either way, the goal is your real work in front of an audience that would never have found it otherwise.

Why I'm the one writing this page.

I teach wax seal art online through a small workshop of my own. I started it because I love the craft, not because I had any plan to run a "business." For the first long while, I did what most makers do. I posted on Instagram, hoped people found me, and watched my course sit at maybe two or three sales a month.

Then my husband Vincent, who has run a Facebook ads agency since 2015, started helping me with the marketing side. The shift was immediate and a little embarrassing.

That experience is what made us start One Afternoon Crafts. Vincent's team has been running paid ads for course creators, authors, and education businesses for over a decade. They are extraordinary at the marketing part. They are not, themselves, craft teachers. So we built this small program to find makers like you, fund the recording, and run the workshop as a real product.

Cyanotype is next on our list because it photographs beautifully, it's genuinely beginner-friendly, and almost nobody is marketing it well. If you'd rather be coating paper than writing ad copy, this might be the deal you've been waiting for. Either way, I'd love to see your prints.

A small team, and you'll know all of us.

There's no faceless agency here. Three people touch your workshop, and you'll meet the ones who matter.

Creator, and your point of contact

I teach wax seal art online, and I'm the one who reads your application and hops on the Zoom. I went through this exact thing myself, so I know what's actually scary about it and what's not.

My husband, and the marketing side of all this. He runs the Facebook ads behind every workshop. He's run ads for course creators and authors since 2015, his longest-running client has been with him over eight years, and the average stays at least four.

Kory
Kory
Production, funnels & creative

The build side of the whole thing. Kory shapes your workshop outline, edits your videos, and builds the sales page, the funnels, the video and static ads, and the bonuses, upsells, and bumps that make it sell.

Two ways we can work together.

Whether you make stunning prints but have never recorded a thing, or you already have a cyanotype course, there's a version of this that fits. Pick the path that sounds like you. The creator deck spells out every term in full.

Path 1

Let's build your workshop together

You make beautiful cyanotype prints and have no course yet. We partner with you to record one.

We pay you $2,000 upfront in two installments, $1,000 before filming and $1,000 when raw footage is delivered, then license the finished workshop to sell through our paid ads. You film, we edit, produce, and build the entire course and sales page around how you actually print. You own the workshop outright, earn a royalty on every copy our ads sell, and keep 100% of every sale you make to your own audience. We earn our money through the sales our ads generate. You approve the sales page and any ad creative before anything goes live.

Full deal terms, compensation structure, and what to expect are outlined in the creator deck.

Path 2

You've already built it

You already teach cyanotype or have a finished course, and want sales beyond your own audience.

We pay you a $1,500 upfront licensing fee, then a royalty on every copy our ads sell. You keep full ownership, continue selling to your own audience, and keep 100% of those sales. Nothing changes on your end. You approve how your course and likeness are used in our advertising before we run a single ad.

Full deal terms, compensation structure, and what to expect are outlined in the creator deck.

From your first email to your monthly royalties.

one.

You apply

Takes about three minutes. You tell me about your cyanotype work, link me to your prints, and say how you like to teach. A short clip of you coating a sheet or pulling a print helps a lot, but isn't required.

two.

We hop on a 30-min Zoom

If your work feels right, I book a Zoom to walk through how it actually works. No pitch deck, no high-pressure energy. We figure out together whether the fit is real or not.

three.

You sign and record

You sign a one-page agreement, and the first $1,000 lands within seven days. You have 60 days to record. We send a shot list, simple recording specs, and a single point of contact for any questions along the way.

four.

We approve, you get paid

You send the final cuts. We review against the standards we agreed on in writing. Approved, or one revision round. Either way the second $1,000 lands, and once your workshop goes live, monthly royalties begin on every sale our ads make.

A clean split, so nothing gets messy.

Most creator deals get awkward because nobody writes down who does what. Ours starts with this list, and we don't expand it without putting it in writing.

your side

You print. That's it.

  • Record the workshop in your usual setup (a phone is fine)
  • Print near a window or outside, wherever you normally work
  • Send any sample prints we agree to feature
  • Deliver final cuts within 60 days of signing
  • Show up to one 30-minute kickoff Zoom
  • Be reachable by email during your recording window
our side

Literally every other thing.

  • Sales page, copywriting, design, hosting
  • Facebook and Instagram ads, plus ad spend
  • Email marketing, sequences, abandoned cart, all of it
  • Payment processing, refunds, customer service
  • Course delivery platform, video hosting, member access
  • Analytics, reporting, ongoing optimization for years

I get these on almost every call.

Are you only looking for cyanotype right now?
For this round, yes. We're funding one cyanotype workshop this season and want to give that creator our full attention and ad budget. We work in other hands-on craft niches too, but right now cyanotype is the one we're actively casting for.
My prints don't look like the ones on this page. Does that matter?
Not at all. Those are our own mockups, made to show the niche, not a style you have to match. We're after your eye and your voice, not a copy of ours. Toned prints, mixed media, large format, fabric, photograms, whatever your cyanotype practice actually looks like is what we want on camera.
I sell prints, but I've never taught. Can I still do this?
Yes, and this is exactly who Path 1 is for. You don't need a teaching background or an existing course. If you can walk a friend through coating a sheet and pulling a print at your kitchen table, you can teach this. We shape the outline with you and send a simple shot list so you always know what to film next.
Do I need a studio, a darkroom, or special gear?
No. Cyanotype is a sunlight-and-water process, so a bright window or a patch of porch, a kitchen sink, and a modern smartphone are plenty. If a specific angle helps (an overhead shot of your coating hand, a close-up of the rinse), we'll spec that in the kickoff Zoom.
Do I keep my rights to my work?
Yes, always. We license the right to sell one workshop through our paid advertising channels, nothing more. Ownership never transfers. You keep your name, your prints, your audience, your future students, and the right to teach cyanotype anywhere else the day after our deal closes. Whether we produced the workshop together or licensed one you already built, it stays yours outright.
Do you sell to my existing audience?
No. We run paid ads to cold audiences on social media. Some of those people may have come across you before, but we never touch your email list, your social following, or any community you own. Your audience stays yours, and you keep 100% of every sale you make to it.
Can I be voiceover only, with just my hands on camera?
Either works, and honestly cyanotype is perfect for it. Hands-on-paper footage (coating, arranging, rinsing, the blue flooding in) is some of the most hypnotic content we run. If you'd rather not be on camera at all, voiceover over your hands is completely fine. Just pick one style and stick with it through the workshop.
How and when do I get paid?
You receive your upfront licensing fee before we run a single ad. After your workshop is live, monthly royalties are paid within a week of each month's end for the previous month's sales, alongside a full sales report so you can see exactly what sold and when.
What happens if the ads don't perform?
That's our problem, not yours. You keep your upfront licensing fee regardless of how the campaigns perform, and we absorb all advertising costs and losses on our side. If a workshop doesn't find its audience through our ads, we regroup on our end. You're never on the hook for our marketing decisions.
What's the catch?
Fair question. The honest answer is we can't guarantee every workshop will perform. Paid advertising is never a sure thing. What we can guarantee is your upfront licensing fee, paid no matter how our ads do. If a campaign isn't generating sales after a fair run, we'll eventually stop spending on it, because that's the reality of running on ad spend. What we're really doing is placing a bet on a creator we genuinely believe in. And since you own your workshop outright, nothing stops you from selling it to your own audience and keeping every dollar, no matter how our campaigns go.
How much recording time are we talking about?
Most workshops are five to ten short video lessons, totaling two to three finished hours. Creators typically spend eight to fifteen hours of actual recording, spread across two to four weeks. Editing is not your responsibility.
I'm outside the United States, am I eligible?
Yes. We work with creators in the UK, EU, Canada, Australia, the Philippines, India, and Latin America. Payment goes via PayPal, Wise, or international bank transfer in your local currency. You handle local taxes on your side.
