Artist Wanted - Lyon & Healy




Position  Title:   Gilder/Soundboard  Painter Location:              Chicago, IL
Duration:              Full time 40 hours/week




Company Background:
Lyon & Healy's best rationale for scrutinizing every detail when creating a harp. Each of the thousands of parts that go into making the instrument-from the wood in the base, sound board, column and neck to the brass and steel parts in the pedal rods, action plates, spindles and discs-affects the harp in an aesthetic, musical and an engineering sense. To meet its own strict standards, Lyon & Healy either creates or customizes each of these parts itself. As a result, it maintains greater control and consistency in appearance, sound and craftsmanship in every harp it makes. Continuing the art of hand-carving and gilding, requires expertise as well as an artist's eye. Every intricate detail into the wood allows Lyon & Healy to preserve a standard for excellence in harpmaking that can be achieved in no other way.



Position Summary:
     Apply gold leaf to wood surface.  Gilding is the art of decorative techniques.
     Unique soundboard painting using oil paint

     Strong commitment to excellence and attention to detail
