Sandy Smith Studio is a fine art fabrication studio based in Bushwick, Brooklyn. Established in 2013, we make sculptures, installations, and bespoke framing/display solutions for artists, galleries, and museums. We work in a wide variety of media, including wood, metals, and plastics. Working directly with artists and institutions, we see projects through from initial concept to finished installation.

Our ideal candidate would have several years of experience in shops and working with acrylic and be comfortable cutting, polishing, and gluing acrylic cleanly.
Attention to detail, a strong work ethic, and keen focus are all important qualities in what we do. Knowledge of and interest in working in contemporary art are a plus.
