British artist Emma Woffenden's three-year term as artistic director of North Lands Creative Glass will expire in 2016, and so this art center located on the rugged Northeastern coast of Scotland is accepting applications for Woffenden's successor, who will start on October 1, 2016. The Artistic Director advises the North Lands board of directors regarding the organization's artistic direction, and directs and plans its annual master class and conference programs.

The new three-year appointment will run through September 30, 2019, on the basis of 12 weeks per year. Six of those 12 weeks will be based in Lybster, Caithness. Prior to assuming the full Artistic Director title, the successful applicant will serve for three months as Artistic Director Designate from July 1, 2016, to allow time for the planning for the 2017 program.
The annual salary will be £15,000 (approximately US $ 23,000), which is paid quarterly. Expenses are also paid. (Wages for the three-month period serving as Artistic Designate is negotiable.)
