What is a weekend glass artist?

Weekend Glass Artists are individuals who create art or functional objects using glass, typically as a hobby or side profession during weekends. They may work with techniques such as glassblowing, stained glass, or lampworking in studios or home workshops. Weekend Glass Artists often participate in local art fairs, workshops, or online marketplaces to showcase and sell their creations. This role is ideal for people passionate about working with glass but who may not pursue it as a full-time career.

What skills and qualifications are needed to thrive as a weekend glass artist?

To thrive as a Weekend Glass Artist, you need proficiency in glassworking techniques such as blowing, fusing, or lampworking, often gained through workshops or hands-on experience. Familiarity with tools like kilns, torches, safety equipment, and materials is essential for safe and effective artistry. Creativity, patience, and attention to detail are standout soft skills that enable unique and high-quality creations. These abilities are crucial for producing safe, beautiful glass pieces while minimizing risks and maximizing artistic expression.

What are common challenges faced by weekend glass artists, and how can they be managed?

Weekend glass artists often face the challenge of maximizing productivity within limited studio hours, as glasswork requires careful planning and setup time. Working primarily on weekends can also mean sharing space and equipment with others, so effective communication and time management are essential. Additionally, artists must ensure proper safety practices, as fatigue after a workweek can increase the risk of accidents. Building strong organizational habits, coordinating with studio staff, and preparing materials in advance can help weekend glass artists make the most of their creative time.

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.
Compensation: $25.00 per hour
We are an equal opportunity employer and all qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability status, protected veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by law.
