Summer Employment Opportunity for College Students
Camp
Med-O-Lark (medolark.com),
an arts camp in Washington, ME, is looking for summer
counselors with experience in fine metals, vitreous
enameling, beading (including polymer work) and other
visual art forms. Camp Med-O-Lark is a both a visual and
performing arts camp with campers between 8-16 years
old. Dates are from June 16 to August 19, 2010 (the 1st
two weeks is Staff Training time). Starting salary is
$1,750 for 1st year counselors who have completed at
least one year of college. The job also includes living
in a cabin with campers and having night activity
responsibilities, along with a generous time off
schedule. Room and board (including vegetarian, not
vegan, choices) included. Only non-smokers need apply.
This is a summer job that is loads of fun, gives you the
opportunity to meet others from all over the world (both
counselor and camper), and allows you to teach what you
love to do - enameling, beading or making metal jewelry!
Current Studio Offerings where counselors are needed:
- Metals:
we teach basic jewelry techniques with silver and
copper. We have a joint program, one period a day,
with the enameling studio. We even have a rolling
mill for basse taille enameling and metal texturing.
And offer pierced and soldered Champleve.
- Enameling:
we teach Cloisonne on fine silver and copper
enameling with both grain and liquid enamels in a
variety of techniques including sgraffito,
stenciling, etching for Champleve and Basse Taille,
scrolling, raku and more.
- Beading:
we teach stitching (off loom bead weaving), wire
work, working with polymer, some stringing and some
loom work. This program is geared towards working
with seed beads, but we have extensive bead
inventory of various types to augment designs. Last
summer we started making French Beaded Flowers for
hair ornaments.
- Other
visual arts – Med-O-Lark is also looking for
counselors who know candle making, painting,
pottery, drawing and more. Please tell your friends
to look on the camp’s website (medolark.com)
for more info.
We
try to coordinate between studios so campers can make
something in one and use it to complete a piece in
another.
For more information about these programs, please
contact our enameling/metals/beading coordinator: Karen
L. Cohen at karen@kcEnamels.com
or call 570-686-1898 between 12noon and 8pm EST.
