Description

Introduction:

Happy Medium exists to create and curate the best supplies, content, and events for casual artists. There’s a lot of stuff out there for kids and capital “A” Artists, but there isn’t much for those that fall somewhere in between. We are on a mission to fill that gap. We aim to be part of a world where more people feel emboldened to create things with their hands, just for the hell of it– because the real thrill simply lies in the making.


Within that framework, the Happy Medium Workshop supports all of Happy Medium’s offerings, as well as producing products, furniture, and commissioned work. We are a small, close-knit team, with big aspirations and are in search of a proactive and hard-working Workshop Assistant to join our team. 


This role involves supporting the day-to-day running of our multidisciplinary workshop. You'll assist with a variety of production runs, creative projects and workshops—including occasional assistance during our evening "Build a Chair" workshops. You will also support tool and material management, studio organization, and general space upkeep. The position is primarily one focused on our fabrication efforts; however, as opportunities arise and trust is established, there are opportunities for growth.


To be successful in this role, you will be:

  • a creatively minded individual, quality and solution-focused
  • A proactive worker/learner, always aiming to improve
  • competent in using common tools and wood-working equipment, with a commitment to safe practice
  • Strong organizational skills and a collaborative mindset
  • Dependable and able to occasionally work flexible hours when needed
  • A passion for the work and the Happy Medium Mission


Schedule/Pay

  • Full Time, 40 hours a week
  • Monday-Friday
  • Occasional, Monthly evening classes
