About Bloomfield Arts & Crafts Studio
At Bloomfield, creativity meets confidence! We’re an arts and crafts studio where kids, teens, and adults learn hands-on skills that inspire imagination and build lifelong confidence. From painting to sewing, we provide a warm, engaging space for learning through making.
Position Overview
We’re seeking a supportive and reliable Assistant Sewing Instructor to work alongside our Lead Sewing Instructor in classes for both kids (ages 9+) and adults. You’ll help bring our lesson plans to life, support students one-on-one, and keep the classroom running smoothly — all while helping every student feel confident and set up for success.
This is a great fit for someone who enjoys sewing, loves working with people of all ages, and thrives supporting a team rather than leading solo.
Responsibilities
Responsibilities include, but are not limited to:
- Assist the Lead Instructor in sewing classes for both kids and adults, using Bloomfield’s established lesson plans
- Maintain thorough knowledge of all lesson plans so you’re able to confidently support students
- Work hand-in-hand with the Lead Instructor, following their guidance on classroom management
- Help set new students up for success — teaching foundational hand-sewing skills and classroom safety
- Guide students through the foundations of sewing
- Foster a positive, encouraging environment for every student
- Communicate with parents about student progress and class updates
- Keep the sewing room clean, organized, and safe for everyone
- Collaborate closely with other team members to ensure smooth class operations
- Help prepare students for the studio’s Triannual Showcase, supporting skill-building throughout the session toward their showcase piece
Qualifications
- Basic to intermediate hand sewing and machine sewing skills
- Comfortable working with kids (ages 9+) and adults
- Strong communication and interpersonal skills
- Patience, reliability, and a team-first mindset
- Previous teaching, assisting, or studio experience a plus, but not required
Schedule
- Weekday evenings
- Saturdays: full-day availability (morning through evening)
- Average of 10–20 hours per week, or as needed based on class schedules and enrollment
Compensation
$12–$13 per hour, based on experience
Our Core Values
Our work is grounded in five core values that shape our culture and guide our team every day:
Collaborative Spirit — We work together as a team, showing up for each other and for our students so nobody’s carrying the studio alone.
Safety — We prioritize a clean, secure, and healthy environment where every student feels safe to try, mess up, and try again.
Respect — We treat students, parents, and staff with respect and professionalism, in every interaction, every time.
Reliability — We show up when we say we will. Dependability and consistency are how our families come to trust us.
Creativity — We think within and outside the box, and we inspire each other to do the same — because creativity is contagious.
