Claremont Custom Framing, a boutique frame shop located in Berkeley, is seeking an experienced picture framing salesperson and fitter. Beautiful shop with great clientele in a laid back environment. This is a part-time position, with flexible hours which may lead to full time work. Must be able to work independently. The top priority of this position is to capture sales and assist customers in design. When not working with customers, you will be required to complete work orders.
A typical order will have the frame and mats already prepped. You must be familiar with: archival mounting techniques, ability to cut all types of glazing, building mat walls, installing spacers, stretching canvases, floating canvases, and fitting artwork into frames, etc.
This is also a sales position. The ideal candidate should be familiar with frame design software, have excellent customer service skills, and an eye for creative and pleasing designs.
This position may lead to full time work as the needs of the business change. Advanced skills like frame cutting and joining, using a computerized mat cutter, advanced archival framing techniques, and handling ordering and inventory would be ideal for someone interested in growing with the business. If you're willing to learn, we can train you to do those things - but they are not current position requirements.
Please email a resume or describe in detail your framing experience. Salary commensurate with experience.
Principals only. Recruiters, please don't contact this job poster.
