Schedule:
We are currently in need of someone for approximately 35-40 hrs a week. The summer schedule (through the end of August) will require you Tuesdays through Saturdays. Starting in September, this schedule will shift to Wednesday through Sunday.

During classes and events, the job includes greeting guests, assisting the instructor with passing out and picking up tools, washing dishes, and cleaning up following the class/event.
