Volunteer Opportunities
Turn your passion for ceramics into community service! Paseo Pottery donates all net profits from Pottery Throw Downs to local charities. We couldn’t do it without our dedicated team of volunteers. In exchange for working as a studio assistant or teacher, volunteers receive a discount on classes, 24-hour access to the studio based on time-trade, and free firing space. We prioritize artists with prior ceramics experience but are open to volunteers of all skill levels.
We hold New Volunteer Orientations on the First Tuesday of every Month. Sign up below!
Ways to get involved…
Studio Assistant
Assistants are the backbone of the studio and are trained in all aspects related to running a studio—loading kilns, running the gallery, cleaning, pugging clay, mixing glazes, etc. Assistants receive a discount on classes and time trade volunteer hours for studio access.
Teacher
Share your knowledge with others! Teach seven week pottery classes, one-time experiences, or both. Teachers receive all Studio Assistant perks + sell their work in our gallery.
Resident Artist
Seasonal positions are available to artists who want to make a larger commitment to the studio. Residents design and complete a personal project and commit to 8+ hours/week of volunteering and teaching.
