We are looking for a skilled, creative, and detail-oriented individual to join our growing team at The Moss Shop, a boutique studio specializing in luxury preserved moss art. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys working with their hands, has experience in woodworking and framing, and appreciates high-end, nature-inspired design — without involvement in the moss artistry itself.
You will be responsible for crafting custom frames from start to finish, assisting with installation prep, and helping with logistical studio tasks such as custom box building and shipping support. If you have experience in picture frame construction and a strong eye for craftsmanship, we’d love to hear from you!

As a small team of four with plans to grow, we’re looking for collaborative, hands-on individuals who want to be part of something creative and fast-growing.
