Call for Instructors - Contemporary Craft (Due Apr. 1)
Call for Instructors - Contemporary Craft
Deadline: April 1st, 2025
Contemporary Craft is expanding! On Tuesday, February 4, we closed on the former Hunter Saw building directly across the street from our current location. This expansion doubles the organization’s square footage, offering an additional 13,000 square feet, which will enable us to build out our fibers and metals programs, reintroduce a woodworking studio, and build-out a new blacksmithing studio.
In light of this expansion we are looking to grow our roster of teaching artists. We are primarily looking for instructors from the greater Western PA area to teach one-day weekend classes, or evening weekday series classes (typically 4-8 weeks long) who work in the traditional craft mediums of metals, fibers, and wood, and are specifically interested in the following:
Fibers
Quilting
Embroidery/needlework
Knitting and crochet
Weaving
Felting
Dyeing
Papermaking
Basketry
Broom making
Metals
Blacksmithing
Wax carving/Casting
Stone setting
Metal fabricating
Hammer forming techniques
Enameling
Wood
Wood turning
Wood carving
Small scale furniture building
CC staff will be in touch with any additional questions and to request specific workshop proposals as they meet our current needs.
