Glassblowing Instructor Hiring Call
A bit about us…
We are a public access glassblowing studio located on the North side of Austin, Texas. We just moved from our original location on the East side, where we had been for seven years, into a much larger facility! In this new space, we have been able to create a dedicated Gallery space where we are launching year-round events programming to draw in more retail sales and cross-collaborations. In our warehouse space, we have been able to expand to have two furnaces, 4 annealers and 4 workbenches with the potential to build space for a 5th workbench! We have also added a lampworking classroom and expanded our coldshop to fit in a sandblaster so that we can offer custom engraving on some of the awards we make each year. While our main revenue stream is from experience classes, we also have a line of zero-waste products made under the Ghost Pepper Glass brand and take on a variety of custom commissions from local hotels, restaurants and companies. We teach hobbyist classes and each artist on our time spends time each week making their own designs which often end up being showcased in our Gallery. While we would love to focus more and more on production and retail each year, we also know that classes are what keep the lights on and keep a steady stream of people coming though our space each week. We are also known for being dog-friendly and having a couple of well-trained staff dogs running around the shop on any given day.
