TEACH WITH US

Teaching artists must have sufficient experience and be able to host their course independently. This includes class preparation and timely attendance. Necessary assistance should be communicated with Red Bird in advance to ensure help will be available.

Red Bird can host up to 12 participants in a workshop, depending on the course.

Red Bird offers assorted tools and materials for classes and workshops to use. Specific materials not available at Red Bird Press must be obtained by the instructor. This does not include consumables, such as paper and ink. (examples: Cricut machine, sandpaper, Gelli plates, specific glue or tape, etc.)

1-day Workshops last about 4 hours long. Classes with recurring meetings can typically meet once or twice a week, with 3-4 hour sessions.

Programs that require registration will be done through Eventbrite.
