- Experience of a wide range of art and design techniques from using a 3D printer, use of woodwork machinery to print making and ceramics.
- A textiles/fashion background would be of particular interest.
- A can-do attitude, with great problem-solving and communication skills.
- Prior experience in an education or creative workshop environment is a bonus!
Why Join Us?:
