Fernando Mastrangelo Studio is seeking a dependable, hands-on Studio Assistant to support the daily operations of an active, material-driven art studio. Our work involves sculptural furniture and wall works made with sand, cement, resins, and cast materials, and this role is essential to keeping the studio running smoothly day to day.

•    Preparing workspaces for fabrication (clearing tables, covering surfaces, staging materials)

•    Packing, unpacking, labeling works and materials; assisting with basic inventory tracking

•    Running studio errands (hardware store, material suppliers, post office, local pickups)

•    Assisting with deliveries and loading/unloading works and materials (regularly lifting ~50+ lbs)

•    Providing hands-on assistance during fabrication processes when instructed

•    General studio support tasks as they arise

Trial Period

This role begins with a paid trial period to ensure a good fit for both the studio and the assistant.

•    Paid trial duration: 1–2 months

Requirements

•    Reliable, punctual, and detail-oriented

•    Comfortable with physical work, standing for long periods, and working with dust and raw materials
