I used to do foundry work. Which involves carpentry, welding, moldmaking, wax and plaster work. I have a vast knowledge of tools and am highly motivated and excited about this position. I work with the Chernobyl Collective Arts which is a community arts collective that has shows with the Dock Street brewery and Phyla Moca representing artists, musicians, film makers, sculptors, and writers in west Philadelphia. I will be coming in soon to introduce myself and make a good impression. I think this job will be perfect for me.
Hope to see you soon!!!!
