Open Roles
Woodshop instruction (part-time) — We are seeking a dynamic, curious instructor to help bring the joy of woodworking to life in our woodshop. We value curiosity, patience, and a love of the craft above all else. Our shop has a hand tool emphasis, and instructors must understand the intricacies of bench planes, chisels, and the processes of using these tools across a range of woodworking processes.
Woodshop assistant (part-time) — Between daily woodshop classes and our membership-based open shop, our woodshop is a bustling place. We are seeking a part-time shop assistant to support the range of tasks from stock prep, to tool maintenance, to student and member support.
Cafe staff (part-time) — Our cafe counter is the social heart of the space, and the first place you see when you walk into recess grove. We’re seeking warm, capable people to support behind the counter: preparing food and drink, keeping the cafe flowing, and creating a welcoming rhythm for members and guests alike. This role blends hospitality, multitasking, and care for the creative details that bring the cafe to life.
Art Sommelier (part-time) — Our studio thrives when people feel supported and inspired to create. We’re seeking artists to serve as ‘Art Sommeliers’ to host and guide guests, and help people of all skill and experience levels to get into a creative flow across various art media. This role is part facilitator, part translator — someone who can read a room, offer gentle direction, and help people feel inspired making things.
