What does our arts & crafts workshop policy cover?
If you are running a commercial activity that involves the public, you owe them a duty of care. In the event a participant has an accident under your instruction, they will be looking at you to sue for damages.
If you hire a space to run the workshop, you will also be liable for any property damage caused by your workshop. AUZi has designed an arts and crafts workshop insurance policy tailored to activities of this nature.
This policy is designed to protect you against incidents of personal injury and/or property damage caused by you, your business, or the products you make.
What does AUZi's insurance for arts and crafts workshops include?
Public liability insurance
Public liability insurance is designed to protect you and your business against personal injury or property damage to third parties arising from your business activities.
What can go wrong?
- During a wood carving workshop, a customer injures themselves on a chisel, carving knife, or any sharp tool.
- During your workshop, a student trips over your art supplies that have been left on the ground.
Product liability insurance
Product liability insurance is designed to protect you against personal injury & property damage to third parties arising from the products you have sold.
What can go wrong?
- Your student takes home their macrame piece and hangs their plant, in the lounge room. However, the macrame hanger is unable to hold the weight causing the plant to drop and damage the carpet below.

We have designed a liability policy specifically for arts & crafts workshops, which can protect you from the cost of legal action if you are found liable for personal injury or property damage. Likewise, product liability protects against claims of personal injury or property damage as a result of the products you make/sell. It is essential to have cover in place when dealing with clients, especially when performing a workshop where there could be 1 person or 15 in the same location.
During the application process, you will be asked the following question.
– Q: As well as providing workshops, do you also make and sell these products and would like to pay an additional premium to include these?
Please ensure you answer YES.
