WORK EXCHANGE
People of all ages, experience, education, background, and economic status are encouraged to apply! We welcome anyone who wants to learn more about riso printing, running a small business, and creative practice.
We offer work exchange programs in 3 different areas. Participants will come to our studio in Bushwick once a week to assist and learn for a 4-6 month period. Our normal working hours are 1-7, Monday through Friday, but we are flexible with working hours in order to accommodate a range of schedules (remote option also available!). In order to apply, we ask that participants propose a project they would like to develop over the course of the work exchange. We will guide, assist, and help implement your project with our resources.
To apply, please email us a CV and a portfolio of your work (if applicable), the area you’re interested in as well as a brief description of a project you’d like to implement (this doesn’t need a fully-formed idea at this stage). We will follow-up with and interview candidates on a rolling basis.
