In reply to: Help...I need advice about a cut off age for a workshop... posted by Maureen on July 19, 2001 at 10:16:37:

My experience is that it depends on the state where you are located,
and the group for which you are doing the workshop. Many states have
laws about working on minors in any capacity without parental
permission. A good rule of thumb is if they can't get their ears
pierced without Mom or Dad, your state is one of those.

In the advertising for the workshop, try to get them to put no one
under 18 without parents present or some such. I don't think 21 is
necessary for the cut off, anyone else go that high?

I teach a lot of classes/workshops through the SCA, which is very easy-
going for the most part, but I always get permission if they are under
eighteen. Especially since the schools here (AZ) seem to get all
worked up if the kids have anything (like henna) that the school
admins don't understand and might possibly be able to link to gangs...
Sigh.

Good luck!
