I'm interested in finding a job that specializes in restoration
I currently live in Crown Heights, right off the Parkway, and with all the renovations going on in my area and around Park Slope, I feel compelled to find a job that specializes in restoration.
Part of this urge I feel comes from the fact that my parents were antique collectors; as a child, summers and weekends were spent refinishing estate sale finds or reupholstering furniture. When it came time for me to go to college, I chose the School for American Crafts, where I studied jewelry design and metalsmithing. I am passionate about the DIY mentality, and I certainly have an appreciation for craft.
I was wondering if anyone knew of some good places for me to look at when searching for a job. I am most interested in lighting and ironwork, but I would not be opposed to architectural salvage, upholstery or woodworking. Again, I am not too particular about the type of work, or even the pay; I really just want to get involved in the restoration community because it is something that is in my blood.
As always, thanks in advance.
