About the internship
It is expected that you will engage in all aspects of the business, from learning glass-making skills (flame working and glass blowing), through to sales and final installation of work. In today’s competitive arts market, this internship may prove to be a useful experience for anyone thinking about starting their own business.
The internship is located in London, Holborn at Cockpit Arts, and is an unpaid position, although I am happy to negotiate expenses. Also, for applicants who apply from outside of London, accommodation maybe available free of charge.
It is expected that the internship will last a minimum of 4 weeks, with working times to suit the applicant. To be negotiated.
