A year ago we were testing recipes in a corner of a small studio. Today we have a Peckham shop, a growing range of glazes in production, a community of makers, and a small team holding it all together.

To keep growing well, and to keep the work honest, we're opening three new positions at GLOST. Two paid roles and one structured exchange placement. Each one is described in full below.
