What Instructors Say

"I went from 'I've never taught anything' to leading my own pottery wheel classes in 6 weeks. The training is incredible, and the team is so supportive."

Sarah M.
Pottery Instructor, Chicago
8 months at CCF

"Best part-time gig I've ever had. I teach 2 nights a week, make great money, and get free studio time for my own art. Plus, the students are always so excited to learn."

James L.
Glass Fusion Instructor, Eugene
1 year at CCF

"CCF gave me the confidence to teach. I started as an assistant and now I'm certified in pottery, mosaics, AND glass. The growth opportunities are real."

Common Questions

Do I need my own kiln?

Yes, kiln access is required. You need to handle both bisque and glaze firing for your students' pieces.

What if I don't have a pottery wheel?

No problem! CCF offers a wheel lease-to-own program: $300 deposit, $45/month. After it's paid off, the wheel is yours.

Where can I teach from?

Anywhere in the USA or Canada! You teach from your own space (home studio, garage, dedicated room) as long as it's clean, safe, and professional.
