Full Job Description

Moss Artist / Hands-On Creative Fabricator

PLEASE ONLY APPLY/COTNACT US ON INDEED.

Due to the volume of applications we are receiving, please do not email, call, or walk in regarding this position. We are a private art studio and are not open to the public. Any questions regarding the position should be submitted directly through Indeed. Thank you for understanding.

Join Our Growing Team at The Moss Shop

The Moss Shop is seeking a highly skilled, hands-on creative fabricator to join our growing studio.

This is a tactile, hands-on position. We are specifically looking for someone who is naturally good with their hands and has experience creating detailed, refined work where precision, craftsmanship, and the quality of the finished product matter.

Our strongest candidates may come from backgrounds such as sewing or seamstress work, upholstery, fabrication, floral design, prop making, model making, jewelry making, woodworking, art production, crafting, or other detail-oriented creative trades. Experience with moss is not required.

This role is primarily focused on creating preserved moss artwork by hand and preparing completed pieces for safe, professional shipment.

Our work blends art, design, precision, and craftsmanship. Every piece we create is custom and design-forward. Creating our artwork requires patience, excellent hand skills, attention to small details, and the ability to turn raw natural materials into polished, high-end finished pieces.

We are looking for someone who genuinely enjoys making things with their hands and takes pride in craftsmanship. You should be comfortable spending much of your day physically creating, arranging, trimming, shaping, assembling, and refining materials until the finished piece meets our quality standards.

The ideal candidate is responsible, organized, proactive, and receptive to feedback, with a strong work ethic and a desire to continually improve their craft. Because we are a small but growing team, we value individuals who are adaptable, collaborative, and interested in growing alongside the business.

We are currently a tight-knit team of 7 and anticipate expanding to six to eight employees next year. We are looking for someone seeking a long-term, full-time opportunity who wants to grow with our studio and become an integral part of our team.

At The Moss Shop, we create custom preserved moss frames, panels, bowls, and large-scale installations for residential and commercial spaces. Our clients expect exceptional quality, and we place a strong emphasis on the details and finishing of every piece that leaves our studio.

Schedule & Hours

This is a full-time position with long-term growth potential.
The position will begin at 32 hours per week for the first two months as an initial training and assessment period.
Following successful completion of the two-month assessment period, the position is expected to transition to 40 hours per week.
We are looking for someone interested in a long-term, full-time role and becoming an integral part of our growing studio team.

Key Responsibilities

Handcraft preserved moss artwork, including frames, panels, bowls, and custom installations
Work directly with moss, botanicals, wood, and other natural materials to create refined compositions
Arrange, trim, shape, layer, and secure materials by hand with precision and care
Translate design concepts and reference imagery into finished artwork
Create visually balanced compositions using texture, color, dimension, and organic materials
Continually refine artwork throughout the fabrication process to achieve a polished, high-end finish
Maintain consistency and exceptional craftsmanship across finished pieces
Inspect completed artwork and perform detailed quality-control checks
Prepare finished artwork for shipment using professional packaging methods
Assist with material organization and general studio workflow
Contribute to a positive, collaborative, quality-focused studio environment

Qualifications

Strong hands-on ability is required. This position is best suited for someone who has demonstrated skill creating detailed work with their hands.

Experience in a hands-on creative trade, craft, fabrication environment, or similar field
Excellent hand-eye coordination, dexterity, and ability to work precisely with small details
Strong attention to detail and an instinct for recognizing when something needs further refinement
Ability to transform raw materials into clean, polished, professional-quality finished work
Strong eye for composition, proportion, texture, and color
Patience and comfort performing detailed, repetitive handwork for extended periods
Ability to follow an established design while also making thoughtful creative decisions during the fabrication process
High standards for craftsmanship and finished quality
Ability to work independently, stay organized, and manage time effectively
Positive attitude and willingness to learn new techniques
Ability to receive constructive feedback and apply it to future work

Relevant backgrounds may include:

Seamstress / Sewing Upholstery Fabrication Floral Design Prop Making Model Making Jewelry Making Woodworking Art Production Crafting Display Fabrication Scenic Fabrication Other Precision Handcrafts

Experience with preserved moss, floral arranging, botanical design, or natural-material artwork is a plus, but it is not required. We are willing to train the right person.

What matters most to us is that you are exceptionally good with your hands, have an eye for detail, and take pride in producing refined, high-quality work.

Pay: $24.00 - $28.00 per hour

Employee discount
Flexible schedule
