Work Placement Application Form

Each year Green Door Printmaking Studio offers a limited number of week-long work placements at its studio in Banks Mill Studios, Derby to students aged 14 – 18 currently on an arts-based course (GCSE, BTEC, AS/A Level).

Because the environment in an open access fine art printmaking workshop is quite unlike that found in the usual office or retail placement locations, Green Door has developed a proactive approach to candidate selection that we hope ensures that those accepted are the students most likely to benefit from the experience we offer.

As part of the application process the student is asked to choose from a selection of project proposals. If called for interview the student will then have the opportunity to present their initial response to the proposal and negotiate an agreed project brief. During the work placement the student will then be required to produce print-based work to meet the brief of their assigned project.

The successful candidate will therefore be the student that can demonstrate the discipline and self-motivation to produce work of high quality during the work placement and with a serious intent to study art at a higher level. Previous experience of printmaking is, however, not essential.

If you would like to apply for a work placement with Green Door, please complete and send this application form. If successful, you may also be asked to provide additional visuals of your work and be available to attend an interview for the placement.
