Ceramics/Pottery Teacher Wanted (walnut creek) (walnut creek)

Are you a maker, a creator, an artist, and/or an inspirer who's allergic to the idea of a desk job? Looking for a position where every day is different, and you're surrounded by art and fun creatives? You're in luck! We are looking for one or two teachers to fit into our sweet art community. We focus mostly on teaching kids ages 4-17 and have some adult classes as well. You must actually like and enjoy being in the company of humans. No previous teaching experience is required, but it is helpful. Our ceramics classes focus on hand-building, pottery wheel, and a combo of both. However, we are looking for someone proficient and passionate about throwing. Also, we often have a couple of dogs in the studio, so to reiterate, you 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. This is a part-time job of 10-25 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. During the school year our working hours are typically Mon-Fri 2-7:00 and Saturdays 9-3:30. During the summer we operate Mon-Fri 8:45-4:15. Qualifications: • Be actively creating ceramics • Proficient at both throwing and hand-building (but primarily throwing) • Energetic and enthusiastic • Reliable and punctual • Have an interest in learning and trying new things/quick learner • Be able to lift 50lbs. • Have studio tech experience Requirements: • Must not be afraid of children • Have a BA/BFA in arts (or be near to completion of degree) • Be able to multi-task and shift gears quickly • Be quick on your feet • Have the patience of a saint • Be organized • Like kids and dogs • Be an artist/creator • Be a team player and self-motivated
