I have a query for our e-Newsletter members: Would you value pay per view, online, artist demonstrations if we were to create them for you?

We are considering filming 1/2 - 1 hour demonstrations of our instructors, while they are here filming their main workshops. We could make these available on a pay per view basis from our web site.

Two questions: 1. Would you like us to do this? 2. What would you consider a fair price?
