Internships

GnarWare’s internship is designed for recent grads, students, and folks interested in a career change. This three-month internship gives participants hands-on experience in how to run and manage a community clay studio. Participants also get teaching training and professional development.

Interns assist studio technicians and instructors, as well as design specific projects they would like to learn more about.

This is an unpaid internship, but interns are granted free studio access and can purchase clay for half price (firing included).
