Hello folks-

Long time no talk to. Below is a job listing for a
pretty good position for a pretty good company. One
sweet groove as we say around here.
I am currently making one of my periodic side
trips in life as part of a six person research and
development department. I am currently working as head
of a new division devoted to making very large one
piece tiles. This is a 'people' company, not a
corporation. It is the largest art tile facility in
the US, employs over 150 people and pushes out over
1.5 million (wholesale) in tile out the door every
month.
This might be a good opportunity for someone who
has been dislocated by Katrina, or is looking for
something new to do.
Northern California is a beautiful part of the
world, grapes as far as you can see. San Francisco is
two hours south, the Pacific Ocean one hour west, and
the Sierras are 4 hours east. I go to SF to get cold,
the ocean to listen to the waves and the Sierras to
ski. Nice.

Sonoma Tilemakers, Inc. is a manufacturer of
handcrafted ceramic tile located in the beautiful wine
country of Northern California is looking for a person
with a ceramic background to serve as assistant to the
president.

We are currently seeking a Plant Manager. Candidates
should have a BS in Ceramics, or related area and at
least 3 years experience in manufacturing. Familiarity
with ram pressing, extruding, and fast-firing
techniques a plus.

We offer competitive wages, health benefits, profit
sharing, 401k and other benefits.

Please forward resume and salary history/requirements
via e-mail to:

Sonoma Tilemakers, Inc.

Ceramic Tech position at Abington Art Center available. Abington Art Center
is located just outside of Philadelphia, PA. Starting with 10 hours/week,
possibility of 16 hours/week, also teaching opportunities.

Responsibilities include, but are not limited to, kiln loading, unloading,
firing, and maintenance, glaze mixing, clay recycling, general cleaning,
community building, and studio chores.

The Art Center is a great place! The job is very flexible in terms of
setting hours, and the position's most appealing perk is 24 hour access to
the studio. The technician gets a dedicated studio space and free glazes
and firing.

There are a lot of programs going on at the Art Center, so if you wanted to
get involved in programs outside the clay studio, opportunities are
seemingly endless. Plus there is a great shop (possibility of selling your
work) and two beautiful galleries (possibility of showing your work.)

Check out the Art Center by visiting www.abingtonartcenter.org
Email your resume to kallen@abingtonartcenter.org

Thanks!

Hello, Molly I recieved the email about the apprenticeship in Philly, PA. I am sorry that I can't participate for it would have been a great learning experience for me. I unfortunately don't live in the area, but I would be very happy if you could tell me if you know of any in the Birmingham, AL area it would be highly appreciated.

Thanks
