What are the responsibilities and job description for the Craft/ Paint Night Instructor position at Catalyst Art Studio?
Catalyst Art Studio is looking for an energetic, outgoing, and creative instructor to lead adult paint nights and craft classes in a fun, relaxed social setting.
This is not a traditional fine art teaching position. We are looking for someone who can entertain a room, keep guests engaged, create a welcoming atmosphere, and help people have a great night out — even if they’ve never painted before.
Classes are typically held on Friday nights, Saturday nights, or Sundays. We are hoping to offer at least one class each weekend, with occasional additional events.
Projects, examples, materials, and prep will be provided. Instructors are responsible for leading the class, creating a fun and upbeat environment, and handling setup and cleanup before and after events.
We are especially interested in applicants with experience in:
- Paint and sip studios
- Creative workshops or craft classes
- Event hosting or public speaking
- Group instruction in casual social settings
Ideal candidates are:
- Charismatic and confident speaking in front of groups
- Comfortable entertaining and engaging guests
- Creative and upbeat
- Reliable and organized
- Comfortable standing for the duration of classes (approximately 2.5 hours)
- Able to create a positive, beginner-friendly atmosphere
This position is structured as an independent contractor role.
Bonus if you enjoy:
- Painting and crafting
- Trendy DIY projects
- Social events and creative experiences
- Helping people feel comfortable trying something new
Pay: $24.05 - $28.96 per hour
Benefits:
- Flexible schedule
Application Question(s):
- Are you comfortable speaking and demonstrating in front of groups of up to 20 people?
- This role requires evening and weekend availability, primarily Friday–Sunday. Are you available during these times?
- In 2–3 sentences, tell us what would make you a great fit for this role.
- Do you have experience teaching or assisting with paint-and-sip, craft, or group art classes?
