Description:
We are looking for highly
motivated individuals interested in learning a skilled trade.
No
previous experience is needed. Our staff will personally
train all new hires in the art of lampworking.
Working
with glass is very similar to welding or soldering, so experience in
these fields is helpful, but not a necessity.
Once
you are completely trained, we will expect you to put 40 hours of work
into making beads; however, our expectations are not strictly set upon
hours, but instead the number of beads produced. We require our artists
to be consistently working towards the goal of producing 500+ beads a
week.
Learning how to make our wonderful products
requires a lot of patience and time on your behalf. Once you learn the
skill, however, and begin producing quality glass beads, you can earn a
substantial amount of income on a bi-weekly basis. It typically takes
3- 6 weeks of training. To be considered you need to be able to devote
at least 30 hours a week during the initial training period
when you begin.
Training sessions take place in our
Marietta studio, near the intersection of Shallowford Rd and Canton
Highway. The more time you can dedicate towards coming to the studio
and training, the faster you will be able learn this wonderful art.
Typically your income during training is low, but you will be
compensated for any buyable beads produced.
Once
training is complete you are given the opportunity to work from home.
Making the transition from our studio to your home is much easier, but
you should still spend at least 8-16 hours a week here at the studio
learning the art of making glass beads. The more time you can invest
the better.
The biggest commitment new hires must
make to Glassbaker is the time they put into the training process,
because it very hard to learn the skill in a short amount of
time. Practice, patience, and guidance are the key factors to
proper training. Once you learn the skill, and begin to work from the
comfort of your own home, you will soon realize just how rewarding
being an artist with Glassbaker can be.
