Intern Search

If you're expecting a book club review today, you're right! BUT, I got sick last week and didn't get a chance to complete the book (aghhh!) because I couldn't even move my eyes so it's postponed until next Monday. Already behind. Beautiful. So if you read it, well done! And if not, there's still time! Read more about the club here.

I'm excited to announce my intern search for 2014. This search is different than any other one I have as I have a new focus and project schedule. I'd love to involve more people into the process so we can all get something out of it. I firmly believe that there is power in collaboration so if you're looking to strengthen your portfolio or start a portfolio or just get your creative juices flowing, this would be a good opportunity to work together. I've been lucky to work with some really great people so far--the photo above are my summer interns from last year--so let's do this again!
What I'm looking for:

• interns from various areas : graphics, crafting (food, sewing, embroidery, paper, etc.), fine arts (painting, illustration, book binding, drawing, etc.), styling, photography, blogging, or just general interest in being involved in the process!
• commitment of 3-however many hours a week you'd like to work each week. The more time you commit the more you are involved.
• people who work hard and well and like to see a project go from idea to finished
• honesty, integrity, hardworking, fun

What you will do:

• take part in new projects for The House that Lars Built
• work with other people who are creative
• but also potentially boring things like running errands--it's still a part of it
• but also potentially awesome things like make projects and participate in photo shoots. 

If you're interested in applying, please email me, Brittany Jepsen, at thehousethatlarsbuilt [at] gmail [dot] com with a resume and cover letter and if you have a portfolio, either online or PDF, email that too. I'll be setting up interviews over the next few weeks so if you have work to show in person, please mention that in your email. Also, please mention in the email what skill set you'd like to focus on. Ex: If you're into graphics, mention that you'd like to work with graphics and if you're a baker, please mention you'd like to do food. If you don't know but you know you want to help out, we can figure something out as I will be needing people to help with various other duties.
