Applications should be sent in one email including your full name, telephone number, attachments and answers. Please send to tessa@tessametcalfe.co.uk by midnight on the 1st of April 2026.
I have designed a blind application process so it is important that everyone follows the same format as described above. All answers to questions and pictures of work will we reviewed separately to remove any unconscious bias that might occur. If your work is exceptional, I won’t be swayed by lack of fancy experience. If you’re my mates sister and we had a pint one time, I won’t know, you’ll be judged on your skills only.
Successful applicants will be asked to come for an in person interview. Following that we will hold a limited number of paid practical workshop trial shifts.
Looking forward to hearing from you and seeing all the lovely things you make!
Tessa
