The School of Art & Design at RHACC is seeking an art technician with a specialism in ceramics and glass.

The School has a long and distinguished history delivering high quality courses to the local community. Courses range from absolute beginner level to advanced practice and are offered across a wide range of subjects. These include ceramics, painting, jewellery, sculpture, glass, fashion and sewing. The College has great art facilities across this range of courses, housed in a dedicated building. Ceramics is one of our most popular areas and we are lucky to have both gas and electric kilns and excellent workshops including a dedicated glazing room.

This art technician role at RHACC is a general technical support role, but with a specialism in ceramics and glass. You will have experience of hand-building, pottery, glazing etc. and ideally experience of loading and firing kilns - though this is not essential. You will also be responsible for studio organisation, health & safety, stock control and student enquiries.
