Teach at Highpoint
Highpoint invites teaching artists to submit proposals for adults and youth classes. We see a wide range of learners at Highpoint, including first-time printmakers, artists interested in expanding into other media through printmaking, and advanced printmakers. Because of this, we welcome class proposals that focus on traditional printmaking methods and related mediums, experimental and non-traditional techniques, and professional practice skills.
Our classes follow the formats below:
6-week class—one evening per week plus two (optional) Saturday studio work sessions. Each evening session is 3 hours in length, and weekend studio sessions are 4-6 hours.
4-week class- one evening per week.
2-day weekend class—Saturday and Sunday, 10 am-4 pm.
1 session—could be a class, demo, or lecture that is between 2–6 hours.
Class sizes are typically 10 or 12 students in order to ensure sufficient materials, space, and instructor time for each participant.
Classes will be selected based on a variety of factors not limited to but including student interest, alignment with HP's mission, curricular goals, and scheduling.
Compensation:
Teaching artists are paid for total contact hours plus 1 hour of prep/clean-up time per session at a rate of $40/hr.
Current co-op members may elect to receive a co-op credit based on total contact hours plus 1 hour of prep/clean-up time per session at a rate of $45/hr. The co-op credit must be used within 12 months of the completion of the class instruction and is non-transferable.
