Job description

We are seeking a Glass Leading Apprentice, a budding craftsperson with a steady hand, a discerning eye, and a genuine passion for the craft.

This apprenticeship is both a place of learning and a path toward mastery. You will work alongside experienced makers and designers, developing the foundational skills of our glass department while contributing meaningfully to production and prototyping. From the precise cutting and taping of glass to the careful preparation of pieces for soldering and leading, you will play a vital role in shaping the foundation of our creations, ensuring each piece reflects both structural integrity and aesthetic intention.

The role is designed for those who believe craft is a discipline and a dedication. For those who see value in repetition as refinement, and in the quiet dialogue between hand and material.

We are looking for someone who wants to grow with us, to build a long-term practice within a studio that takes the work seriously.

The Glass Leading Apprenticeship begins as a 2-Month Intensive, structured to assess both fit and skill, with the intent to transition into a full-time role within our Glass Department.

This position is hiring on a rolling basis.
