A NOTE ABOUT FIT
We want to be upfront about something specific to this role: this position does not include studio membership or additional studio access beyond class credits. Team members receive class credits to use toward classes or workshops at Tinker Art Studio or Clay Hub — and when participating as a student, they're treated just like any other student, fully separate from their work role. This keeps the boundary between work and creative time healthy and clear. The right person is genuinely excited about supporting our students without needing to be part of the studio as an artist themselves.
ABOUT CLAY HUB
Clay Hub is part of the Tinker Art Studio family — a community-centered ceramics studio in South Boulder where members, students, and artists come to work with clay. We believe in connection, creativity, and creating a space where people feel genuinely welcome in community. We are excited to meet you!
