Art-K, a leading private art education service, is seeking enthusiastic individuals to join as Self-Employed Family workshop leaders for its arty family workshops during weekends. With a vibrant network of 7,000 weekly students, art-K is expanding its offerings to provide unique and creative family experiences. Since the summer period, art-K has engaged 1000s of families in its family workshops and expects this to continue growing in 2025.
As a Self-Employed Family workshop leader, you play a crucial role in ensuring the success of each 2-hour family art workshop session as well as the pre-workshop setup & tidy up. Your responsibilities include:
1. Studio Setup and Ambience: Create an ambient studio environment for the workshop, setting the music up & preparing the projects that will be offered during the workshop (there will be a choice of a few options).
2. Art Workshop Leadership: Lead engaging and inspiring art workshops, catering to various skill levels and a wide diverse range of ages. Foster a positive and encouraging environment, sparking creativity and experimentation among attendees.
3. Clean-up: Maintain high cleanliness standards by tidying up the studio after each class, leaving a welcoming space for the next session.
Teaching and Encouragement: Support children to complete their art projects, offering guidance, and encouraging them to explore their creativity whilst having fun. Midway through the workshop, it may require a shake break or mini dance party to release extra energy!
