Teaching Artists - Come Teach with Us!

At our Red Wing Arts Clay & Creative Center, located in Red Wing, Minnesota, we seek unique approaches, and skill sets that provide a rich learning experience for our participants. Our audience ranges from beginners to intermediate skill levels in various mediums, including clay. Typically, our guest teaching artists hold workshops on the weekends, and we are open to other times.

The maximum number of participants is approximately 20, depending on the art medium. We strive to have an intimate and focused learning environment. Additionally, we are looking for teaching artists who are interested in marketing these workshops to their current audience, helping to broaden our community of artists and enthusiasts.
