Glassblower and Hot Glass Instructor
Summary
The Glassblower and Hot Glass Instructor will work in PGC’s hot shop, which will include teaching classes and workshops, doing glassblowing demonstrations, leading tours as well as assisting with production and other special projects. The Hot Glass Instructor will need to work closely with both the administrative and technical staff at PGC and will need to convey a team attitude in all interactions with staff, students and the public.
The Hot Glass Instructor will work with the Creative Projects Manager on special glass products such as Art on Fire centerpieces, architectural projects or other opportunities as they arise.
