Northern Clay Center seeks individuals ages 18+ for our 2024 summer camp positions. Every year, NCC recruits paid Clay Camp instructors, volunteer Clay Camp assistants, and one paid intern. We offer over 40 four- and five-day camps which explore the basics of handbuilding (ages 6+) or wheel throwing (ages 9+), and occasionally some special collaborations with nearby art organizations.
Our Clay Camp instructors lead themed morning and afternoon programs inspired by various topics such as sea creatures, outer space, fairy gardens, and more! They also work closely with Clay Camp assistants to provide guidance to students and maintain cleanliness in the NCC studios. Instructors and assistants work closely with the education manager to provide additional classroom support throughout the week.
See how a world-class ceramics education program operates from the inside out. As a NCC assistant or intern, you will have the opportunity to gain hands-on experience in preparing classroom materials, assisting with clay demonstrations, and, most importantly, working directly with students ages 6 to 16. These paid positions are for 15 – 20 hours per week, with commitments ranging from one- to ten-weeks. Assistants are valued team members and the experience can often lead to future summer teaching positions!
Experience working with clay, and interest and experience in working with young people is essential. See our website for full details about these positions and how to apply, or contact Education & Artist Services Manager, Sean Lofton, at seanlofton@northernclaycenter.org should you have any questions.
