Pottery Teacher Apprentiship

343 value - - Posted Mar 02, 2017

I will show you all the ins and outs of being a contracted pottery teacher. Most schools dont offer art but there is a way to teach after school partnering with PTO's There are quite a few hoops to jump through but I've been jumping for about 5 years now and I can confidently start a program at just about any school that wants a program. It is a job that is in demand, part time. I get about $20/hr before taxes, Including admin (processing registration, creating rosters, emailing parents ect) and post class work. I will show you how to fire a kiln and set up your lessons. In return I ask that you help me out with 2 sessions of classes. I will also meet with you at my home studio to show post production (glazing finishing and firing) work. In the end you would have to work out a deal to fire in my kiln, or purchase your own, or find a school that has one that you can use (I can also help get you placed in a school if you would like. I can name at least 2 that would like a program that does not have one, that have kilns to utilize.

Must be able to pass a background check! No exceptions! 16+

Training & Qualifications


I am a pottery teacher who has contracted with 3 differant districts, metro parks and pierce county parks and rec, and recieved several grants for special school projects. I'm also on the pierce county arts commission, and I do work and classes out of my home studio.

Availability & Preferences


Classes are after school so you must be availalable from approx 2:30-5
Sessions are once a week 4-6 weeks long.

Trading Preference: Trade only – I just want direct exchanges

About Jenifer Davis

Pottery Teacher, Artist, Mother. I've been teaching art for over 10 years, I currently teach at 3 local schools. I have a home studio where I also teach and create. I am creative with just about a...nything I do, there is no such thing as thinking inside the box in my world. I love to barter! Making connections in my community and improving my corner of the world one kind act at a time. Artist Statement: Tacoma, Washington based potter Jenifer Davis's passion is to create irreverently shaped functional sculptures and pots. Jenifer offers both custom works, which she throws by hand in her studio one at a time for private clients, and classes. The hand-thrown process leaves a good deal of the outcome to fate. Jenifer revels in this serendipity, and is fond of saying "the clay is happy in its natural state, with a tender yet firm hand you can convince it to do what you want". She also loves the randomness of the transformation in the firing process. From adding glass to finding a new beautiful glaze combination, the best part is seeing what emerges after the kiln is opened. show more
