The Mud Peddlers: Ceramic Art Behind the Scenes

The Mud Peddlers: Ceramic Art Behind the Scenes


76. Teaching at a Ceramics Studio: “Promised money vs. potential money…”

August 01, 2023

With Donte’s upcoming, first ever in-person classes starting this week, Lindsey and Donte chat about teaching at a ceramics studio. They discuss everything from their approaches to curriculum development and how much they’re getting paid, to the pros and cons of teaching at a ceramics studio and how they’ve decided if teaching is or isn’t for them…at least for now.


Do you teach as part of your art practice? Would you, or have you ever taught classes or workshops?
