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 to crochet, we provide a warm, engaging space for learning through making.
Position Overview
We’re seeking a patient, creative, and engaging Crochet Instructor to teach students (ages 8+) the art of crochet — from the very basics to more advanced projects. You’ll help students learn how to hold a crochet hook, make foundational stitches, read simple patterns, and complete fun, skill-building projects.
The ideal candidate enjoys working with kids, communicates clearly, and creates a calm, encouraging learning environment. You’ll also play a role in refining our crochet lessons to make sure they’re effective, enjoyable, and age-appropriate.

- Introduce students to crochet foundations — including how to hold the hook, chain, and stitch properly
- Guide students through fun, skill-building projects that grow in complexity over time
- Evaluate and enhance existing crochet lesson plans to meet class needs
- Create new crochet lessons and patterns that meet the Bloomfield lesson guide
- Foster a supportive, patient, and creative classroom atmosphere
- Communicate with parents about student progress and successes
- Maintain an organized and safe studio workspace
- Assist with other studio activities and classes when needed
- Prepare students for the studio’s Triannual Showcase, building their skills throughout the session toward their showcase piece
Qualifications
- Proficiency in crochet (foundations, reading patterns, and finishing projects)
- Prior teaching or instructional experience — especially with children
- Patient, positive, and encouraging attitude; able to engage young learners
- Experience working in creative or extracurricular settings (e.g., art, dance, or craft studios) preferred
- Strong communication and interpersonal skills
- Flexible, reliable, and collaborative team player
- Comfortable assisting in other creative studio areas when needed
Schedule
- Weekday afternoons & evenings
- Weekend mornings & afternoons

Our Core Values
Our work is grounded in five core values that shape our culture and guide our team every day:

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.
