Dya Australia is looking for confident, outgoing and creative people to join our Melbourne team as casual Art Workshop & Event Instructors.
This is not a traditional art teaching role.
Our workshops are social, relaxed and event-based.
Most instructors start by running our public Paint & Sip events, where guests are there to have a fun night out, have a few drinks, chat, laugh and paint.
The art is important, but so is the experience you create for the group.
We are looking for people who can confidently lead a room, communicate clearly, make guests feel comfortable and keep the energy going.
We provide training in our paintings and workshop formats, so you do not need to be a professional or highly experienced artist.
