TEACHING ASSISTANT AND ARTIST ASSISTANT POSITIONS, PILCHUCK

Teaching Assistants (TA) and Artist Assistants (AA) participate in a leadership capacity during the summer programme at Pilchuck Glass School. All assistants must have extensive studio experience and an interest in collaboration. Successful candidates would have great project planning and time management skills, be proactive, and enjoy problem solving.

TAs develop their own teaching abilities by working with students and supporting the instructional and creative efforts of an instructor. Previous TA experience at Pilchuck is helpful but not necessary. AAs assist artists in residence by facilitating their use of studios and helping to solve technical and creative problems. They gain valuable insight into professional art practices through working with accomplished artists. AAs must have previously attended Pilchuck in some capacity and should possess a broad range of glass-working skills.

TAs and AAs receive housing and meals, a $50 store credit for supplies, studio access, and partial reimbursement for travel costs. The deadline for applications is 13th February 2012.
