Locals only: I'm hiring some helping hands!
AUGUST 10, 2011 AT 2:19 PM
I am looking to hire some students to help with the assembling, making, collating, stuffing and other handiwork required for various UPPERCASE projects. Projects include preparing envelopes of goodies, assembling handmade books, button-making and other hands-on tasks as required throughout the year. Work will begin immediately and be concentrated in August and once the school year begins, it would be on a per project or as-needed basis. Please email me if you are interested. janine at uppercasemagazine dot com.

Please note this is for local Calgarians, with preference given to students. Most work will happen in the UPPERCASE studio downtown.
