Ceramics Instructor Positions
Radius Art Studio is accepting ongoing applications for Ceramics Instructors to join our vibrant clay community!
We are seeking outgoing, creative, and compassionate individuals with a passion for sharing knowledge and uplifting the ceramics community through education and connection. Radius Art Studio offers three distinct opportunities for instructors:
1. 10-Week Ceramics Classes
Instructors for our 10-week courses will lead wheel throwing or hand building classes, covering making techniques, glazing, and firing fundamentals. Each class meets once per week for 2.5 hours, with an additional half-hour per class dedicated to setup and cleanup.
Responsibilities Include:
- Demonstrating techniques and assisting students
- Weekly brief check-ins with management, as needed
- Maintaining studio cleanliness after class
- Creating a supportive and engaging environment
- Participating in on-the-job training to familiarize yourself with our studio practices (training varies based on previous teaching experience)

We welcome proposals for one-time, project-specific clay workshops. If you have specialized expertise in a particular ceramic skill or technique, Radius may be the perfect place to host your class! Please provide a clear description of your proposed workshop. We will collaborate with you to tailor the class to our studio and community needs.
Compensation: Varies based on workshop length and cost.
3. Visiting Artist Workshops
Radius invites visiting artists to share their expertise through specialized workshops, demonstrations, or lectures. Ideal candidates will have extensive knowledge and experience in their chosen topic. While we typically do not cover travel expenses, we provide comfortable housing accommodations during your visit.
