Art teacher?

[Startingagainandagain]

I have a fine art degree from Central St Martins and a multimedia design qualification (BTEC). Also experience of running art workshops for people with mental health issues.

I have been working in marketing/communications/campaigns/fundraising roles for charities most of my career and while doing my own artwork alongside.

I really want to do something else now that I am in my early 50s and I hate my current job with a chaotic charity and I just can't imagine doing this until retirement anymore

I am looking at my options and wondered if teaching art, preferably to adults, or even art therapy might be something to look at.

Has anyone taken that type of path and what did you need beyond your art degree? (teacher training? MA?)

Any other suggestions on how I could use my creative skills to find a new career would be most welcome.

I know that art therapists need a masters which is 4 years I think. Art therapist is a protected title

There is a course called HOLISTIC INTEGRATED CREATIVE ARTS THERAPIES that means you can work as a holistic practitioner (freelance I think).

I have done a few courses with council run adult education (night school) and the staff were ex school teachers (so pgce or other qualification leading to qts).
