Beth Ann Willaims,
"Not only is it an interesting read, in an engaging style but it was also chock full of practical and boots on the ground information and guidance for anyone who’s interested in teaching their own workshops."
Andi Stanfield
"This is like having coach Tori sitting next to you while you plan out your workshop and get it ready for it’s debut. Whether you have a brand new idea or if you need to go back and reflect on something that you’ve taught before, this is going to be a great tool."
Lynn Kane
"I’ve been an educator for 35 years, I have a whole wall of awards that say that I’m cool. I’m not the least bit afraid to walk in front of people, I can talk to thousands at a time, it doesn’t bother me. I got a lot out of your book - PAGES of notes!"
About the Author
Tori McElwain, M. Ed
I began designing and publishing Quilt Patterns and teaching quilting workshops as a way to afford my daily Starbucks. As I discovered how enjoyable and profitable it could be, I became fully immersed! Combining my passion for quilting with my profession as an Instructional Designer, with a Graduate Degree in Education, I founded the Quilt Patch Course Academy and wrote Workshops Unleashed.
I assist Quilt and Creative Teachers in transforming their craft into a successful course or workshop that is both lucrative and impactful. As a teacher, coach, and author, my goal is to help you create engaging and impactful workshops that keep students coming back for more!
