For a year and a half I have worked retail at the Kohl's in Joliet. I have learned a lot, especially in regards to my Marketing major, but there are many things I don't like about the job. About two months ago a friend of mine told me about an opening at this painting place in Plainfield and suggested I give then a call. I called and got an interview a few days later. I was very nervous for the interview because, in creating my portfolio of all my best works, I realized that I do not paint a whole lot, and most of my experience is with oil paints.
In my interview I met the owner, saw their location and met the artist that was leaving because she had just graduated and was starting her professional job. They really liked me and I actually got hired right at the interview! I was so excited!
Now I have been in training and the past two Saturdays have gotten to teach two children's painting classes. At their location they have four different kinds of classes; adult painting classes, wooden board classes, wine glass painting classes, and children painting classes. It's such a fun environment to work in and something that I enjoy doing so much. When I was in high school I helped choreograph my old middle school's swing choir, so I have some experience teaching and have always loved teaching.
If any of you would like to come and paint, all you have to do is sign up online at www.somuchfunpaintandsip.com It is okay if you are not over 21, there are lots of teens and adults that just come to paint and create!
