Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
The role was varied each day as it was a part-time internship. Some weeks I assisted with printmaking and had the opportunity to create my own work. I carried out stock takes, research on artists to add to artist biographies on the website, as well as starting to catalogue the archive of prints on site.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Yes, I was working independently quite often but also was made to feel very comfortable if I needed to ask questions/needed further clarification on tasks.
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was
