***Job Opportunity*** Glassblowing Assistant at Sanctuary Glass Studio in Shreveport, LA needed beginning in September 16-25 hours to start with room to grow!... Starting pay $15/hour. We are looking for a glassblowing assistant that has some experience in glassblowing and hot glass sculpting, has a positive attitude, an eagerness to continue learning, and is hard working. We just opened our studio in March and have grown quickly and need more help to continue to do so.

We have goals to create a larger studio housed in the Shreveport Common that would not only offer glass but several other mediums as well. ([http://www.shreveportcommon.com/](http://www.shreveportcommon.com/)) Shreveport is located 3 hours away from Dallas/Fort Worth area and 5 hours from New Orleans which gives us opportunities to participate in shows in those cities and to have a fun getaway close by. Being located in the south there is also a ton of delicious food to try from Cajun to Crawfish! Not to mention, our studio is located inside the Red River Brewing Co.; and what goes better with hot glass, than cold beer!! Shreveport is an up and coming city with vast opportunities for growth at the moment.
