The Stirling Council Culture Team are looking to employ a freelance art workshop tutor to run classes for young people from our Art Studio situated in the Cowane Centre, Stirling.
The successful candidate will work with Stirling Council Culture Team staff to design and then lead on a brand new weekly art workshop. Activities should be dynamic and wide ranging over the course of a number of blocks of activity, with no limits set on the type of creative arts activities included – painting, drawing, arts and crafts, design, sculpture etc.
The workshops should develop skills and understanding of various art and crafts techniques, inspire creativity, and be ever evolving and responsive to participants in order to encourage long-term engagement, boosting confidence and self-esteem.
Workshops are to take place on Saturday morning/early afternoon in blocks that run during school terms, approximately 2.5hrs per week. 3 blocks of 8 weeks annually. It’s hoped that the successful applicant will work with Culture Team staff to design and run additional arts opportunities during school holidays and as part of wider Stirling Council cultural events.
Additional duties include working with Culture Team staff to maintain a stock of materials for the classes, keep work areas tidy and safe, manage storage and adjust set up of the studio space, as well as upholding child protection and health and safety policies.
The successful applicant will be required to complete a PVG membership application or update for Stirling Council.
Rate of pay will be in line with Scottish Artists Union rates, currently:
£23.00 per hour for a new graduate artist.
