We’re on the lookout for someone to help run our hand-building and ceramic painting workshops!

This is a super chill, casual contract role. Mainly 2 or 3 Saturdays a month, with the odd Sunday here and there. Hours and days will vary depending on bookings.

We’re after someone who:

-Is happy, friendly, and confident chatting with a group

-Has experience with hand-building (you don’t need to be a pro, but you should know your way around clay)

-Can help guide people through workshops and keep the vibe fun and relaxed

Perfect if you love working with people, enjoy a creative environment, and want a bit of flexible work on the weekends

If it sounds like you flick us an email with a bit about yourself and your experience to [email protected] 😊

We’re taking a break these school holidays and will be closed from 6-17 April. During this time there will be no workshops or pickups available.

We’ll be open with extended hours over Easter weekend, and there are still a few workshop spots available if you’d like to come along before we head away 😊

Holiday season is nearly here 🥂

We’re open extra days before Christmas, with plenty of spots for end of year celebrations, or creative catch ups before the holiday break. We’re also running casual Sunday workshops throughout December.

And if you’re gift hunting, our shelves are full of beautiful Leach Studio ceramics, handmade pieces ready to wrap and give!
