Ceramics/Pottery Teacher Wanted (walnut creek)

Are you a maker, a creator, an artist, and/or an inspirer who loathes the idea of a desk job? Looking for a position where every day is different, and you're surrounded by art and fun people always? You're in luck! We are looking for a couple of teachers to fit into our art family. This is a part-time job of 10-20 hours per week, which includes Saturdays and some Sundays. Our schedule shifts twice per year as we run regular weekly classes between Sept.-May, and summer camps June-Aug., so some flexibility is a must. We focus mostly on teaching kids ages 4+ and have some adult classes as well, so you must actually like being around kids. No previous teaching experience is required, but is helpful. We will be running classes focused on hand-building, pottery wheel, and a combo of both. Also, we often have a couple of dogs in the studio, so must like dogs and kids. :) Perk if you are multi-medium disciplined as we have both a Studio Arts Studio, as well as a Ceramics Studio, and love being able to cross over.

Be actively creating ceramics
