Kreinik Manufacturing and The Handwork Studios come on board
Kreinik Manufacturing and The Handwork Studios formally came on board the PiPN program this past week. Long time supporters of the program, as well as needlearts education in general, both these companies offer remarkable opportunities for anyone interested in a summer (or more) of creativity, community and unbounded learning.
Kreinik is all about thread. A family owned business located in West Virginia (where the cost of living is low and the scenery is beautiful) creates and distributes threads for the needlearts industry, as well as a number of other industries (fly fishing, for example). Always open to new ideas and creative projects, Doug Kreinik, owner and mentor, is a wealth of information and inspiration.
For this internship you don’t need any background in the hand needlearts . . . and Kreinik is even offering pay . . . check them out by downloading the pdf here.
The Handwork Studio is a kids camp . . . Talk about a unique internship . . . Although they’re headquartered in Narberth PA, the camps are in DC and other nearby cities. Interns are assistant counselors. Imagine that . . . having an internship and going to camp at the same time. The campers, from K – 12, learn the basics of needlearts and sewing, and have a great time in the doing.
Of course, for these positions (they’re looking for 6 interns), you do need to have experience in knitting, crochet and/or sewing . . . and you need to love working with kids. FYI, their intern from last year is continuing to work with them!
The Handwork Studios is offering a stipend, as well. Check them out by downloading their pdf here.
We continue to add more internship opportunities so check back frequently.
If you are interested in a specific position already listed, please complete your application as soon as possible. We will match interns as applications are received.
