We are feverishly elated to announce that the Mama's Sauce Internship Program is now officially sponsored by French Paper Co.
No one shares our awkwardly intense enthusiasm for inspiring young print designers more than the fine folks at French. Together, we aim to build a program that introduces aspiring print designers to the world of spot color in a unique and hands-on sorta way.
Here's a rundown of our new & improved educational gauntlet for Spring 2013:
French Paper Treasure Chest
The kindly souls over at French Paper Co. will be supplying Mama's interns with an arsenal of inspiring goods that are essential for any aspiring spot color print designer / paper geek.
Spot Color Seminar
Learn a bit about the ins & outs of designing for spot color printing and demonstrate that learning by designing and printing a screen printed project.
French Sample Room
Select intern projects will be proudly displayed in the French Sample Room.
Guest Professor
Spring 2013 interns will have their portfolios personally reviewed by this semester's Guest Professor: James White of Signalnoise Studio. This is a golden opportunity to hear a Canadian accent in a professional setting.
Hard work
The only way to learn how to look at print is to look at print. A lot. We instill our obsession with quality in our interns by teaching them to check every single print that comes off press. Every printer at Mama's Sauce got their start in quality control and it's the only reason they can print the way they do.
Press Time
Get to know letterpress and silkscreen printing by getting all up in the business of our presses. Learn to oil them, clean them, and help our pressmen run them.
The internships are unpaid, but we'll happily work with your educational institution so that your work here is rewarded with credit. If you are not a student, don't be afraid to throw your name in the hat!
