John Eric Byers Studio, www​.johner​icby​ers​.com, is offer­ing a one-year resi­dency for 2027.

The resi­dency is an oppor­tu­nity for a highly moti­vated and self-disci­plined indi­vid­ual to develop their wood­work­ing skills and explore their design vocab­u­lary.

An appren­tice­ship hourly wage will be consid­ered after six months.

We will educate you in all of our processes, includ­ing milling, lami­nat­ing, shaping, carving, finish­ing, and machine main­te­nance, with an empha­sis on safety and efficiency.

This is an oppor­tu­nity to build your port­fo­lio and master your hand skills while working with an estab­lished profes­sional studio. For all ques­tions, please reach out by email.
