Role Overview

Canvas & Company is seeking a Craft Experience Lead to design and facilitate curated, hands‑on crafting workshops in our studio. This role focuses on intentional, guided creative experiences

This is a 1099 contractor role
, ideal for experienced makers, artisans, or creatives who enjoy teaching and facilitating small‑group experiences.

Responsibilities

• Lead guided crafting workshops (e.g., gift basket creation, keepsake projects, seasonal crafts, memory pieces)
• Demonstrate techniques clearly and patiently to guests of varying skill levels
• Prepare materials before sessions and assist with light cleanup after
• Maintain a calm, inclusive, and respectful group environment
• Collaborate with Canvas & Company on workshop concepts and flow
• Adapt instruction to different group sizes and experience types
• Uphold studio standards for quality, pacing, and guest experience

Qualifications

• Proven experience as a craft maker, artisan, or creative instructor
• Comfortable guiding small groups (6–20 guests)
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills
• Detail‑oriented with an eye for presentation and finish
• Reliable, punctual, and professional
• Able to follow a defined workshop structure while adding personal warmth
• Comfortable working evenings and occasional weekends

Preferred (Not Required)

• Experience leading workshops, classes, or pop‑up events
• Background in gift design, floral, handmade goods, or DIY instruction
• Familiarity with adult learning or facilitation
• Ability to propose new craft workshop ideas aligned with the brand

Compensation

• Hourly pay with a defined event window
• Typical range: $25–$35 per hour

• Guest material provided by us.

Schedule

• Event‑based (evenings and weekends primarily)
• No guaranteed hours; scheduled in advance per event
• Opportunity for recurring workshops and private events

What Makes This Role Different

This is not a retail craft class or fast‑paced party environment.

Canvas & Company prioritizes:

• Small‑group experiences
• Thoughtful pacing
• Meaningful projects
• Respectful facilitation

We are building a studio where creativity feels intentional, adult, and welcoming
.
