Employment/Internship
I have a small ceramic production studio located outside of Plainwell, MI. Interns work 10 hours per week in my studio. Tasks include, but are not limited to: cleaning, glazing, preparing pots for shipment, loading/unloading kilns, sweeping, mopping, organizing, landscaping, helping in the showroom, yard work, etc. It is an unpaid internship. By completing 10 hours of work per week you will receive clay, glazes, firing privileges, and studio space.
Interns are responsible for finding their own lodging, food, and transportation. You must be prepared to work alone for some of your time here. While I work regularly in my studio, I also spend time away from the studio traveling, running errands, etc.
