What does a jewelry making instructor do?

As a jewelry making instructor, your responsibilities include developing a curriculum to teach students various jewelry making techniques. You can teach classes in a bead store, community facility, or collegiate art program. You may teach techniques like craft and found object jewelry, clay jewelry, or jewelry making using other materials, including precious metals. For each class project, you teach a new topic, such as wire wrapping, assembly, chains, polishing, carving, and extruding. Your other duties include helping students become familiar with various hand tools, setting up additional required equipment, and providing a safe and supportive learning environment. You are expected to plan and prepare for each class, collecting all necessary materials beforehand.
