Waller & Wood is an independent studio run by Carole Waller, a painter with an international reputation. Carole specialises in painting with dye directly onto cloth for the purpose of making completely unique painted silk clothing – art to wear (called ‘Wearable Art’ in the US).
The placement invites the development of a plethora of artistic and commercial skills. Working in the studio may involve washing, ironing and painting fabrics, learning how to screen print, and observing classes. Other roles could include blogging, developing the online store, photographing and measuring products, assisting with a photo shoot and dealing with private clients. The successful applicant will therefore be adaptable, independent-minded and interested in textiles, design, and retail.
