Description
LEVEL Centre is seeking a freelance heritage potter or clay facilitator to develop and deliver a twelve week workshop programme as part of the 'Water and Wellbeing' project, a two-year funded programme supported by the National Lottery Heritage Fund.
The project is being led by LEVEL Centre. The chosen facilitator will work with LEVEL Centre's Youth Collective, our creative group for young people aged 13 - 18 years who are neurodivergent, have autism or ADHD. The workshops will provide a creative and supportive environment and foster social connections through meaningful experiences. Participants will learn about the heritage of Ashford Black Marble and explore their artistic abilities using clay to make 21st century interpretations to be part of a display of work by Youth Collective, held at LEVEL Centre and Bakewell Old House Museum.
The role requires a person with substantial practical experience of pottery/clay. They must be confident in teaching techniques outside of their own studio environment, and be able to provide the equipment and materials to facilitate this. The ability to engage with others including young people is essential.
There is an inclusive fee of £2700 (inc. VAT) for this role. This includes all expenses related to the freelancer's time, travel, preparation, design, delivery, and evaluation. A materials budget will be agreed during the planning phase.
Applicants should ensure they have a valid Enhanced DBS certificate (within 3 years) or should consent to LEVEL requesting an Enhanced DBS check.
