Live Art Local CIC are looking for a student or graduate artist/creative industries to act as a workshop assistant this summer to assist the lead artist in workshops with young people aged 11-18.
We are not expecting you to have previous experience of running/assisting in workshops although this would be beneficial.
Thanks to the National Lottery Community Fund we are running a series of free workshops for young people over the holidays, every week will feature a different artform and there will be three sessions a week (Tuesday/Thursday/Saturday), we are looking for an assistant for either the Tuesday or Thursday sessions.
All workshops begin at 1:30pm and all last for between 2-3 hours. The hours and artforms are given below:
Week 1: Experimental Mark-Making, both Tuesday and Thursday sessions are 2 hours long
Week 2: Printmaking Tuesday session is 2 hours, Thursday is 3 hours
Week 3: Sculpture Tuesday and Thursday are both 2 hours long
Week 4: Filmmaking Tuesday is 2 hours long, Thursday is 3 hours long
Week 5: Product Design Tuesday is 2 hours long, Thursday is 3 hours
The payment for the sessions are as follows:
2 hour sessions £50
3 hour sessions £74
We expect you to arrive 20 minutes before the session to help with set up (13:10) and to start behind and help clear up at the end of the session.
This is a special fund for the summer holidays, and as a result we only found out two days ago (28th July) that our bid was successful. Therefore we are working very fast to very tight deadlines. The sessions begin this week and so we will be running your first session as a trial. You will be paid for this trial and we will let you know by the next day whether we will continue working with you. As this is a freelance position you are responsible for your tax. We will ask you to invoice us (we can send you a template) for your session and you will be paid by the end of the following week for each session you work (the quicker you get the invoice to us the quicker we can pay you!). We will pay the money direct to your bank account.
