Traveling Glassblowing Instructor - Ikonic Glass

WHO WE ARE

Ikonic Glass is a traveling glassblowing company that brings live, hands-on lampworking workshops to festivals, markets, and events across the country. We teach beginner-level borosilicate glassblowing to the public — real workshops, real fire, real people experiencing glass for the first time.

We are a small but growing team of artists, teachers, performers, and operators building meaningful public experiences through live events. We are not a pipe company. We are not a bro crew. We care deeply about safety, professionalism, showmanship, and the 20-minute experience we create for every student who steps up to the torch — or stops to watch.

ABOUT THIS ROLE

As a Traveling Glassblowing Instructor with Ikonic Glass, you will lead live torch-based workshops for small groups at fairs and events across the country. You will guide students through their first experience with glass in a fast-paced, highly public environment that combines teaching, performance, hospitality, and operational teamwork.

This role is repetitive by design. You will teach the same beginner-level class up to 24 times per day while maintaining strong energy, professionalism, and guest focus from the first class to the last.

You should expect:

Long days on your feet in outdoor environments
Frequent interaction with the public
Repetitive teaching using a structured curriculum
Travel ranging from single weekends to multi-week runs
Physical setup and teardown work, including lifting 40+ lbs
A team-oriented environment where reliability and consistency matter

If that sounds like your kind of work, keep reading.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

Teach beginner-level borosilicate glassblowing using our structured curriculum
Lead safety orientations before each class
Create a safe, encouraging, and memorable experience for every student
Perform public demonstrations and engage with crowds throughout the event
Set up and break down the mobile workshop booth and equipment
Assemble, inspect, and safely operate propane/oxygen systems and torch equipment
Maintain a clean, organized, and professional workspace
Coordinate class flow and readiness with front-end staff
Package and organize completed student pieces for pickup
Assist with check-in, checkout, POS responsibilities, and guest support throughout the event
Track tools, equipment, and consumables using our inventory system
Travel to events across the U.S. as scheduled

WHAT MAKES SOMEONE GREAT HERE

Desired Experience

Minimum 2 years of borosilicate flameworking experience
Comfortable working with torch systems, propane/oxygen equipment, and PPE
Prior teaching, instructional, hospitality, or public-facing experience preferred
Event, festival, restaurant, or high-volume service experience is a strong plus

The Traits That Matter Most

Reliable — you show up on time and follow through
Coachable — you can follow systems and take direction well
Guest-focused — you bring patience, warmth, and professionalism to every interaction
Emotionally steady — you stay composed under pressure and high volume
Team-oriented — you contribute to the group, not just your own performance
Engaging and high-energy — you communicate clearly and connect with people quickly
Adaptable — you handle changing conditions and unexpected problems calmly
Safety-serious — you do not cut corners with fire, tanks, or safety procedures

Restaurant and line-cook experience translates well to this role. If you have thrived in loud, fast-paced, repetitive, team-based environments, you may already have many of the skills this job requires.

THIS ROLE IS PROBABLY NOT FOR YOU IF

You are looking for a quiet studio environment or significant creative autonomy
You dislike repetitive teaching or structured curriculum
You are uncomfortable speaking and performing in front of crowds
You are not open to extended travel or time away from home
You prefer highly flexible schedules or working independently
You struggle in physically demanding, fast-paced environments

COMPENSATION & BENEFITS

$25/hour for instruction during events
Reduced rate for training, onboarding, setup, and teardown
Lodging provided during travel (hotel, Airbnb, or camping, depending on the event)
Flight stipend offered when needed
All required tools, safety equipment, and teaching materials provided
OSHA and safety training included during onboarding
Advancement opportunities as the company grows

EMPLOYMENT DETAILS

Seasonal W2 position with potential for continued or expanded work based on performance
Onboarding begins: (Date)
Background check required
OSHA training required during onboarding
Must be able to regularly lift and carry 40+ lbs
Role involves sustained outdoor physical activity in varying weather conditions

Tell us about your torch experience, teaching or public-facing background, availability, and what draws you to this opportunity.

We read every application carefully and respond to every candidate we move forward with.

We are not just hiring workers. We are building a team.
