Studio Intern
The Full Spectrum Studio is the only art studio in the Low Country specifically created for artists with disabilities. Our studio was established after visiting successful programs across the nation that modeled environments for creative self expression for artists with disabilities. As a result we opened our doors to the public at 33 Bow Circle in January of 2021. We currently serve seven permanent artists who spend regular hours at the studio creating, exploring, gaining life skills by expressing themselves creatively in various media.
Our primary medium is pottery focusing on hand building. Our studio has all the tools needed to create amazing pieces of art to include but not limited to pug mill, slab roller, and kiln. All art work is subject to regular critique processes, which allows our artists to introspectively explore the value of their work and determine what changes, if any they would do in future pieces. As in any art studio, there are studio hands to help when the artist needs more than their own two. Sometimes our artists only have one hand they can use, which is when you can help. Sometimes our artists need help remembering a process, here you can help. Sometimes they need someone to discuss ideas with, here you can help.
Our artists are all members of the Art League of Hilton Head where they regularly show their work and have often successfully sold pieces. Our artists, when able, are encouraged to participate in any of the many markets where we have a presence to include the Hilton Head Farmer's Market on Tuesdays from 9 to 1 at Honey Horn, and the Hilton Head Community Market at Shelter Cove on Saturdays from 9:30 to 12:30.
The successful intern does not specifically need art experience but MUST have excellent communication and people skills. A desire to learn, develop skills, and become a part of a rewarding effort are also required attributes. Working with our artists you will learn more than you could ever expect, and you too will find and elevate your creative voice. Our team of artists are a true representation of people who are regularly underestimated, but who rise to, and exceed all expectations. This is NOT an opportunity for everyone, but it IS an opportunity everyone should explore. This internship is for high school or college students. It is for weekday work with our artists, or weekend work with our artists at our markets.
