Looking for summer intern...

Our beloved intern Claire is leaving us in June after a year of amazing work. It is going to be difficult to fill her shoes, but we are on the hunt for a new intern (or two) to start in late June. Here is what we are looking for:

As our summer intern, you will have an opportunity to contribute to all aspects of our design consultancy and studio from research, to design process, to production assistance, to a variety of administrative projects. Knowledge of Adobe software and confidence in design drawing and model making is ideal.

This position would be a great fit for an Industrial Design or Furniture student, though we can tailor the position for a Graphic Design, Textiles or Architecture student as well.

Our focus this summer will be working on the growth of our in-house product and furniture line, which we show annually at the New York International Gift Fair and International Contemporary Furniture Fair.

Our home studio is on Bainbridge Island, a 35 min ferry commute from downtown Seattle. The position is unpaid, but we do cover ferry costs, lunch and coffee.

We are looking for someone who could start around June 27th and work through the summer. Full-time would be ideal, but we would be open to part-time as well. We could accommodate two interns.

To apply, please send portfolios and resumes to Chelsea chelsea [at] graindesign.com.

UPDATE 04/25/11: Huge thanks to everyone who applied. We are happy to report that the position has been filled. We will be looking for more interns in the fall so please continue to email info to Chelsea if interested in future postions.

Bellevue By Design

If you are a Seattle-area teen interested in art and design, you should check out this new program called Bellevue By Design that Chelsea Green of Grain will be leading at Open Satellite this July 13 - 31st, 2009. The program will run Monday - Friday 10:00 am - 3:00 pm. Here is the full description:

Bellevue By Design is a three-week, college prep/intensive exploration for local teens passionate about art, design, and architecture. Participants will engage in the public and private identity-building processes of their hometown. Through meetings with local artists and community stakeholders, guided field work, and studio art making, teens will have the opportunity to reshape their city with a rich (and unexpected) array of tools and information. A final presentation of the teens’ research, process, and design solutions will be publicly presented at Open Satellite or at a Bellevue partner organization.

To learn more about the program please contact Laura O'Quin at laura@opensatellite.org or 425.454.7355.
