JOB OPENINGS

Birdstudio is an art house and fabrication studio in Germantown, Philadelphia. We specialize in fine finishes, venetian plasterwork, murals, feature walls, and gilding. You can find images of our wide range of services on www.birdstudio.com. In recent years, jobs have included faux finishing wood beams in the Comcast Center, a hand painted mural at Suraya, creating a dimensional cheesesteak for Campo’s Deli signage, and a damask stencil plaster finish at Bar Poulet (among many other fun and unique jobs). We work with Philly’s top restaurants, brands, and design firms. 

 

We’re looking for an individual with fine painting skills and venetian plastering ability to complement our team of craftspeople.

• Reliable, timely, and a good communicator

 

At Birdstudio, you’ll be working under the expert supervision of owner Zack Bird, who is a specialist in a wide range of techniques, from fine painting to industrial design and everything in between. The collaborative environment will give you the chance to learn from the experts here, while honing your skills on a variety of projects.
