Fees for Teaching Jewelry Classes at a Retail Store – How Are They Split?

I’ve been approached by a local retail store to teach a basic jewelry making class in her store.

Not only is she providing the location, she’s also furnishing all the supplies.

What percentage of the class fee should I expect?

I read one article where the the class fee was $35: the store kept $10 and the instructor kept $25, but in this example the instructor provided all the tools and materials.

I haven’t been able to find any examples where the store provided everything.

Does anyone have any experience in a situation like this?

My thought is a 50/50 split.

Thank you for your help.
