Long Love Memorials is hiring!

MOLDMAKER, $17/HR.    April 2022

Long Love Memorials is currently seeking a moldmaker with experience making multiple part plaster molds for casting pottery and small sculptural forms. I, the owner, typically make all of my molds, but I’m unable to do all of it by myself due to a recent non-covid medical diagnosis.

This role will require someone to make plaster mother/master molds from models, and working/production molds. Experience with silicone rubber (in moldmaking) is helpful, but not a dealbreaker.

I’m happy to hire someone to either do the work in my studio (located in Glendale), or you can make the molds in your own space. If you work in my space, I have all of the tools and materials needed.

REQUIREMENTS:

• Experience making multi-part plaster molds for ceramics. Photos of molds you’ve made, and the pieces that were cast from the molds will be required, for consideration.
• Careful attention to detail and ability to work on small pieces that may be intricate.
• A gentle touch when handling pieces so things don’t get broken.
• Independent worker
• Able to work quietly and manage time well. (Studio is in a semi-shared space, so it's vital we are considerate of neighbors.)
• Experience making plaster models is a bonus, but not required.
• Must be located near Glendale, Callifornia, or able to drive there to either make the molds, or deliver them to my studio (if you’re making them in your own space).
• Must be covid vaxed and boosted (I’m taking meds that suppress my immune system).
• Must be comfortable wearing a mask indoors while working in my studio (it’s required by my building manager).
• Must be willing to sign a non-compete clause.
