We have are blessed to have asst. teachers that we are vital to Out of the box keeping class sizes low, welcoming students, assisting in all elements of the class or camps etc. Our apprentices and teen helpers have a variety of jobs from assisting in kiln work, working with us at festivals, libraries, ministry events in the community, helping in camps and classes, !You can see since we opened 4 years ago how we have grown to add teachers, but that so many have been with us all along! Many of the teachers have YEARS of art experience teaching , others are graduates from Savannah College of Art and design, Georgia State, Kennesaw and many others majoring in a vast area of art mediums!
