Lesley Dill Studio is accepting applications for 2024-2025 Winter Internships.

This is an unpaid internship, and we will provide any necessary documentation for course credit. The home-studio is located in Brooklyn Heights/Downtown Brooklyn.

The studio team workdays are Wednesday-Friday 10am-5pm.

- 2-3 days per week, with a three month commitment between December and March, with opportunity to stay on longer.

This is an opportunity to get hands-on experience working in an artist’s studio and connecting with a small team of artists and students from different disciplines.

We are creating a body of work based on an investigation of self-taught artists and 1900’s quackery science. We will primarily be working on sewing together cut copper foil figures with wire, cutting paper and copper with an x-acto blade, and stenciling and painting on paper for a deadline-driven, large-scale installation

We are looking for upbeat, calm interns interested in learning more about studio art fabrication. This is a collaborative studio where we make decisions and develop techniques together. We are looking for interns with an interest and skills in x-acto blade copper and paper-cutting, painting, sewing, weaving, and studio art in general. The ideal candidate works well with their hands and is prepared to work independently and with others on complex studio projects.

We are a teaching studio. We offer daily lunchtime talks or films, and give you the opportunity to give a presentation about your work and ideas. Lesley and Liz (Studio Manager) will talk to you about archiving, care of materials, studio organization, and the process of preparation for a multi-level project.

Interns will gain experience in the following skills and processes:

- Fabrication - sewing, weaving, x-acto blade cutting, painting, creating paper substrates, metalwork and patina, drafting and planning, experimenting with mixed media.

- Administrative skills for working with galleries, museums, and curators.

- Support and advice for your personal practice from both Lesley and Liz.
