PiPN 2010 Interns have had a great summer
We recently emailed all the PiPN 2010 interns and apprentices to see how their summers have been going.
To share just a few . . . Trekina Miller from Mississippi State College first found out about PiPN at the Dallas Career Day in 2009. As I recall, she made a beeline to the PiPN booth the next year (this past April), excited to see we were there again.
Handwork Studios in Narberth PA was Trekina’s first choice. She recently wrote “I just wanted to thank you again for helping me find this awesome internship with the Handwork Studio. I love it and everyone that I am working with. I look forward to going to work everyday. I am also working with the Fashion Bootcamp program in Rosemont, PA for the Handwork Studio. I can not thank you enough for this great opportunity!!”
Earlier in the summer, I heard from Laura Kelly, owner of the Handwork Studio. Laura was instrumental in connecting us with the Philadelphia area schools. She commented that Trekina was a terrific addition to her team.
Erin Rice from the Art Institute of California – San Francisco was placed at the Yarn Designer’s Boutique in Big Bear CA. She’s been updating the shop’s blog throughout the summer, and thought that might be the best way for everyone to see what she’s been up to. It starts out with “My first week in Big Bear is coming to a close and it has been nothing short of beautiful, educational, and just what I needed to dive into after graduation.” Check out all her postings at http://www.yarndesignersboutique.com/blog.html.
We’re also getting emails from PiPN alumnae who are looking for jobs within the industry. We’ll be posting their resumes as they come in. Please consider these PiPN veterans if you have an opening of any kind. They’ve certainly proven themselves and have demonstrated a true commitment to the needlearts.
