Dear Handmade Life is hiring for our Southern California shows!

We’re currently looking for event staff for our Southern California Patchwork Show: Modern Makers Festivals in Long Beach and Santa Ana. Both positions are seasonal (two shows a year in June and November in each city). Ideally we’re looking for someone for both events, long-term with the possibility for extra administrative work during our busy seasons (spring and fall).

If you’re interested email spaulding@dearhandmadelife.com with:

  1. Your resumé.
  2. A few sentences about why you’re a good fit for the position as well as any pertinent information we should know.  
  3. Which event(s) you’re interested in working and if you’re interested in working multiple seasons (not a requirement). 

If we’d like to chat with you about the position, we’ll reach out! 

Thanks!
