I use an inventory software called CraftyBase to keep track of the supplies I have for students and how to put a price on my materials kits. I don’t love the cost at $39/month but it really does help me keep track materials costs and the value of what I provide in the materials fees, including my time to package the kits. I started using this to put a price on my finished rugs and other artwork and to keep track of my supplies, but for teaching I am finding it useful to understand if I have enough materials to make kits for my next class and how much I need to order.
I’ve actually considered teaching a class in this software someday if the company will let me.
I’m including an example of a small kit I’m making for an upcoming class.
Vision Statement:

Mission Statement:
Create a more robust and diverse fiber art community in the Hill Country that is defined by the inclusion of punch needle by introducing the craft, tools, supplies and artistry to local fiber artists through artwork display, demonstrations, classes, and workshops.
