Fashion Program Director at Material Institute

Material Institute is a new space in New Orleans for design and manufacture of garments, textiles and fashion, with a focus on learning through hands on experimentation. The goal of the Institute is to provide space, tools and professional guidance to those who would not have access to these opportunities otherwise - communities for whom affordable enriching education has been lacking. Material Institute is a place where students are able to express themselves in a creative and professional way, and supported to gain financial independence through their craft. The tools include industrial sewing machines, a large dye sublimation printer and heat press, weaving loom, natural dye facilities, as well as many more hand tools and materials. This is a great opportunity for an ambitious candidate to help develop a popular and innovative education space, and to manage its on-going success and growth.
