INTERNSHIP PROGRAM
Hatch Show Print is a 133-year-old letterpress print shop. Hatch prides itself on being a working museum with the motto "preservation through production." As a way of sharing the history of Hatch and the enjoyment of letterpress, we offer an internship program. We're happy to offer this once-in-a-lifetime experience to working professionals and students alike.
As an intern at Hatch you will learn the art of letterpress in a fun and professional environment. You'll be doing hard work and getting dirty. Eventually you'll have the opportunity to interact with real clients on real jobs. Remember this is a business with a demanding production schedule. The ideal internship candidate will be ready to act professionally, work hard, follow directions, listen well and be ready to learn. Oh, and you'll be standing all day; wear comfortable shoes.
Housing, meals and transportation will be your responsibility. If you need help finding housing we have a few suggestions.
Application Information
We do not take email applications. Please send a physical resume with a short letter of intent/cover letter explaining why you would like to intern at Hatch, what you expect to get out of the experience, and what you have to offer as a part of our fantastic team. If you have work you would like to show, please send printed hard copies of scans or photos, as we have limited digital capabilities. Any handmade components that you can include will be greatly appreciated, as we operate in a handmade world.
We offer five different unpaid internship sessions. Please include which session you will be applying for and your availability. There is limited space in each session so we expect to receive applications at least two months before the session you are applying for.
