Call out for creative workshop facilitators
Bath Preservation Trust is looking for experienced artists and freelance creative workshop facilitators to deliver workshops at Beckford’s Tower and Museum. This is to expand the adult learning provision and workshops that we provide here.
Workshop facilitators will take the lead in planning and delivering creative sessions to adults who enjoy learning new creative skills at beginner level or are more established practitioners. The sessions will ideally link to heritage themes that relate to the Tower and the collections of the museum, and / or the outdoor space.
All disciplines are welcome but we are particularly interested in hearing from artists who can explore the following themes:
- Traditional crafts
- Architectural drawing
- Cyanotype illustration
- Botanical art
How to apply:
To apply please email [email protected] with a CV and a short proposal which should include:
- Outline of a workshop idea including length
- Rough material costs per person
- Maximum capacity of participants (our venues have different capacities)
- Any specific equipment requirements
- A short statement about your own artistic practice
- A link to a website or an online portfolio showing examples of your work.
For any queries please contact: [email protected]
Volunteering
We are recruiting five different Volunteer roles:
- Museum Volunteer
- Gardening and Landscape Volunteer
- Events Volunteer
- Evaluation Volunteer
- Learning and Engagement Volunteer
What we are looking for:
We are looking for people with a range of different experiences, for example if you are interested in the Museum Volunteer it would be beneficial if you have experience of working with the public in a customer facing role with great customer service skills. However, if you are interested in the gardening role it would be beneficial if you enjoy working outdoors. In all the roles, experience of working in museums would be useful but is not essential as full training will be given.
Through the new layered interpretation, the Tower and Beckford’s story is identified and explained with authenticity, integrity and sensitivity. This includes subjects of abuse, enslavement and exploitation.
All volunteer expenses will be paid and after six months you will receive free entry into Bath Preservation Trust museums.
