Picture Framer – Art Images Gallery (Norwood, SA)
Full-time (38 hours) or 4-day option
• Creative, hands-on role
Art Images Gallery, established in Norwood in 1985, is a thriving contemporary art gallery with a busy custom framing workshop. We're a diverse, creative business working at the forefront of a dynamic industry, and we are seeking a careful, considered and creative individual to join our team.
We value experience in picture framing, but we are also open-minded. A shortage of trained framers means many people in the industry come from related trades such as cabinetmaking, printing, signage, or other hands-on creative fields. Interstate applicants with framing experience are strongly encouraged—Adelaide is one of the world's most liveable cities, full of festivals, events and culture.
-----------------------------------
About the Role
Our workshop handles a broad mix of custom one-off jobs and semi-production work, depending on client needs.
A typical day might include:
* Framing certificates, prints or etchings
* Stretching canvases
* Cutting mouldings, mountboard, glass and backing materials
* Assembling high-quality finished frames
-----------------------------------
Skills & Attributes
The ideal applicant will have:
* Experience using workshop machinery such as a mitre saw, frame joiner, glass cutter and computerised mount cutter
* An understanding of framing materials—or transferable experience from similar trades
* A keen eye for detail and a commitment to craftsmanship
* Practical skills suited to a busy workshop environment
* A strong focus on maintaining high standards, including OHS procedures
* Physical capacity for lifting and workshop tasks
* A manual driver's licence
While framing experience is preferred, individuals with relevant practical or creative backgrounds are encouraged to apply.
