Gunnersbury Park and Museum is looking for a talented Artist Facilitator to deliver a fun and engaging printmaking workshop for our Young Curators to help them realise their creative vision!
Our Young Curators programme is designed for young people aged 14-17 who live, study or work in Ealing and/or Hounslow. The Young Curators meet monthly to explore different creative activities, responding, contributing and co-curating creative projects that are rooted in their interests and needs, while gaining valuable museum-related skills, from curating exhibitions to event planning.
Gunnersbury Park and Museum are hosting a Local Makers Market for Christmas at the museum this year. Our Young Curators will have a stall to showcase crafts that they have created and sell them to fundraise for the museum. Printmaking was chosen by the Young Curators themselves, as they would like to explore printmaking to create different products, from cards to tote bags to T-shirts.
As Artist Facilitator, you will:
- Lead and facilitate a printmaking workshop for the Young Curators session on Sat 19 October 2026.
- Introduce and demonstrate different techniques to help the Young Curators explore different creative practices.
- Support the Young Curators to create different high-quality prints for the Young Curators to fundraise for Gunnersbury Museum at the Christmas Market.
Fee: £40 per hour for a three-hour workshop. Planning and prep rate: £15 per hour. We expect this to be no more than an hour.
