Teaching Assistants gain valuable experience while developing their
professional skills as teachers or technicians. Assistants must have
studio experience in at least one discipline of the fine arts and an
interest in collaboration. During the first years, the Glass Furnace
will be accepting assistants of Turkish nationality to further its
mission of 'redeveloping Turkish glass art'. Please contact the school
at apply@glassfurnace.org for further information.
