Guest Art Teacher Opportunities in Jingdezhen, China

Part-Time Teaching in Jingdezhen, China
We welcome talented artists to join our summer and winter camps in Jingdezhen as part-time guest teachers. This is a wonderful opportunity to share your skills with eager students while immersing yourself in a vibrant artistic community. Through ChineseSources.org, artists work independently with access to personal studio spaces, orientation support, and professional equipment.

Flexible and Independent Teaching Options
This program allows you to balance teaching with your own creative pursuits. International artists can explore new techniques, take creative risks, and complete projects for exhibitions in our world-class studios.

More optional schedules to plan

Many young art teachers and students use this opportunity not just to teach but also for personal and professional growth. They plan schedules for:
- Ceramic art research and practice
- Factory tours and market studies
- Pottery history exploration
- Thesis writing or academic research
- China’s ceramic industry analysis

Teachers often take time to visit ceramic university campuses and connect with artists and professors in Jingdezhen. Some also use this chance to create porcelain works for personal collections, which they later sell on platforms like Amazon, eBay, or Etsy. Others display and sell their creations at local events like the Taoxichun flea market. This program is perfect for those who want to teach, learn, and grow in the heart of China’s ceramic art scene.
