Job Summary

We are looking for a long-term team member — not just someone to fill a Saturday shift. If you love making people feel welcome, bring a genuine love for art and creativity, and want to grow with a studio building something special in Charlotte, we want to hear from you.

No resin art or fluid art experience required — we provide full hands-on training. What matters most is that you bring a love for art and creativity, a passion for people, and the enthusiasm to make every class an unforgettable experience.

Hawaii Fluid Art Charlotte is seeking a fun, energetic, and service-oriented Art Instructor and Sales Associate to lead hands-on art classes and deliver exceptional guest experiences every Saturday. In this dual role, you will guide guests step by step through creating fluid art and resin art pieces, as well as decorating hats and tote bags with patches — for individuals and groups of up to 20 people. You are the party host: the energy, the warmth, and one of the reason guests leave smiling.

As a Sales Associate, you will assist customers in our retail art gallery, drive class bookings and product sales, and help keep the studio running smoothly. This is a part-time, Saturday-only position ideal for someone with a customer-facing background and some teaching experience who values a consistent weekly role in a creative, community-driven environment.

Job Responsibilities

• Lead fun, energetic fluid art, resin art and patch party classes for individuals and groups of up to 20 guests

• Guide guests through hats and tote bag decorating with patches — step by step

• Greet customers warmly; set up and manage class spaces before, during, and after sessions

• Provide excellent customer service throughout every guest interaction

• Help guests with color choices, techniques, and creative ideas at every skill level

• Support special events, private parties, and community outreach activities

• Book classes and events with walk-in and call-in customers

• Assist customers in the art gallery

• Develop solid product knowledge to guide purchase decisions

• Drive sales by promoting class upgrades, add-ons, and company promotions

• Complete customer sales transactions: operate cash register, process payments, and issue receipts

• Maintain and process inventory, restock retail displays, and keep the studio clean and well-presented at all times

• Provide responsible beverage service including wine, non-alcoholic drinks, and catering orders for events

• Follow all safety and loss prevention procedures
