SUMMER APPRENTICE
Hjorths Fabrik is happy to offer apprenticeships for 2nd semester students at School of Design's Craft Program - Glass and Ceramics in Nexø and students from other recognized design or craft schools. However, this is not a requirement to be accepted.
As an apprentice
As an apprentice you will be included in our production and have fixed tasks organized in collaboration with the other employees at Hjorths Fabrik.
During the stay you will be trained to execute various ceramic processes such as:
-
wheel throwing
-
glazing
-
slip casting
-
take part in gas kilns firings
Accommodation and compensation
As an apprentice, you will have free accommodation on site (worth approx. 1.500 to 3.000DKK per week) and you will have the possibility to earn 20% of the sales price ex. VAT from your production (start to finish) sold as 1st quality sorting.
Please note that this is more of an incentive to strive to produce high-quality work rather than a monetary compensation.
Submission
Please send your application to kas@bornholmsmuseum.dk no later than the 10th January.
Your application must include:
- a short text about yourself and your past ceramic experience
- no less than three images of finished work or work in progress (this can include sketches both on paper and in clay)
- a few sentences about why you want to intern at Hjorths Fabrik and how this may benefit you in your future career
Selection
Apprentices are selected by the Head of Hjorths Fabrik, Karina Skibby, and you will receive your response on the 1st of February.
