Hi Folks,
I am looking for a position as a studio assistant or sewist, for a garment maker/seamstress/tailor, dyer, or fiber artist/craftsperson working in patternmaking, dyeing and or sewing.
I am a student, working on my BA in Sustainability at a low-residency school, Goddard College (it's amazing). My focus is on patternmaking and garment making. I am an advanced beginner in both, and an experienced beginner in natural and synthetic/acid dyeing.
My background is in fine dining pastry kitchens, a career which I left to work on farms and follow my current path. Pastry training really taught me the value and importance of finding a mentor to apprentice.
I am very interested in getting more involved with the Fibershed and Local Cloth - community fiber organizations- and helping to increase the visibility and interest in garments and fibers locally.
Please contact with me with any questions, information, or interest in samples of my work and further contact.
Thanks!
