Description

Plate Former (Part-Time)

Brooklyn, NY

Noble Plateware is seeking a focused, hard-working Plate Former to join our growing team. This is a part-time, hands-on role in a fast-paced ceramic production studio making handmade dinnerware for some of the top restaurants in the world.

Important:

This is not an entry-level or casual art studio position. It requires stamina, precision, and a strong work ethic. We will only consider candidates with 1–2 years of prior experience in production, manufacturing, or back-of-house kitchen environments.

At Noble, we’re here to work hard and do excellent work—every day. If you’re looking for a place to hang out, this isn’t it. If you're looking for a place to accelerate your knowledge of ceramic production and be part of a growing business. Then you will love it here. 

What You'll Do

  • Form plates using Noble’s in-house molds and techniques (we will train you)
  • Work quickly and precisely while meeting high standards and daily production quotas
  • Finish, prep, and manage pieces through the studio workflow
  • Maintain tools, molds, and clean workspaces
  • Support a clean, respectful, team-oriented environment

Who You Are

  • Experienced in high-output, physical work settings (e.g. ceramic studio, restaurant kitchen, factory)
  • Open to feedback and willing to adjust to the Noble process and standards
  • Comfortable working with your hands and standing for long periods
  • Detail-oriented, reliable, and collaborative
  • Motivated by craftsmanship and excellence
  • Able to lift 50 lbs consistently

Growth Potential

For the right person, this role may evolve into a Studio Lead or Production Manager position as our team grows.

Training & Compensation

  • Includes a 6-month paid training period in Noble’s production techniques
  • Pay increases upon successful completion of training
  • Ongoing opportunities for growth and advancement

Schedule

  • Part-time: 2–3 weekday shifts per week
  • Located in Brooklyn, NY
