The Holburne Museum is looking to bring hands-on, sensory activities into one of its most visited gallery spaces through an interactive Art Explorer's Cart, encouraging children and families to explore portraits and artworks in playful, creative ways. The Art Explorer's Cart will be a permanent resource offering sensory, tactile, and play-based activities for children and families in the gallery.
Juno House is looking for a Textile Maker who will design and make six fabric swatches inspired by the clothes and accessories in the museum's 18th century portraits. The pieces should be colourful, playful and strong enough for frequent handling by children of different ages. They should be engaging without written instructions or adult explanation, and they will be fixed permanently to the cart drawers. Successful applicants will visit the Brownsword Gallery in person and are encouraged to bring their own creative style, balancing historical inspiration with an approach that appeals to children.
Please note, Juno House roles are only open to BSU students and recent graduates (within 3 years of graduation). If you would like to speak with a coach about your application, you can book a Juno House/freelance appointment through MyCareer.
