Current Openings
Ceramics Instructor
We are currently hiring teachers for both our SE and North ceramics studios for our one-time wheel throwing classes! We are hoping to begin this teaching role in March or April of 2025. We are currently looking for teachers who are interested in the following:
teaching one time wheel throwing workshops on friday, saturday, or sunday night at least 2x/month. Saturdays preferred. This also includes trimming and glazing the pieces and seeing them through the firing process. You can find an example class at themudroompdx.com/classes-and-workshops
The one time wheel classes are paid at $240/session which includes trimming and glazing the pots.
If you are interested, please send us your resume along with a 3-10 minute video of you teaching someone how to center clay and throw a cylinder to lizzie@themudroompdx.com. Use the subject line "pottery job."
Our preference is that you upload this video to youtube and just send us a youtube link rather than the entire video file. Often, if the file is too big, the email won't send and we will never receive it, so youtube is a safer bet to ensure that we see the video.
No need for a wheel if you don't have one, you can just use your hands and your words. We know that might feel a little awkward--that's okay :) This doesn't need to be a high quality video, we are just trying to get a feel for your teaching style. If we think you could be a good fit, then we will set up an in person interview.
