Part-Time Workshop Instructor / Studio Host (Lampwork Glass Art) – Training Provided

Main Duties

We’re looking for a friendly, responsible part-time Workshop Instructor/Studio Host to support our in-studio lampwork/glass art-making sessions. This is a customer-facing role where you’ll help guests enjoy the experience while ensuring safety rules are followed at all times.

Key responsibilities

• Welcome customers and guide them through the workshop flow
• Deliver safety briefing and supervise safety throughout the session
• Demonstrate simple techniques (full guidance and training provided)
• Assist customers 1-to-1 during making and provide hands-on support
• Pack finished artworks neatly and professionally (gift-ready packaging)
• Keep the studio clean, tidy, and organised during/after sessions
• Provide a warm, calm, and premium customer experience

Typical Shifts

• Weekends (most important)
• Some weekday afternoons/evenings

Shift length usually 2–6 hours, depending on bookings.

Training & Trial

No lampwork experience required — we provide full training.

Training details

• Training usually takes 7–10 days
• Minimum 4 hours per day
• You will be guided step-by-step, including safety procedures, customer handling, and workshop delivery

A paid trial shift is required before confirmation.
