The Art&Graft Internship Programme 2026 is Open!

Twice yearly, the studio opens its doors to aspiring designers and young creatives who want to gain insight and hands-on experience in the industry.

This is an opportunity to get stuck in with the dynamics of the studio, working across a range of projects and briefs, on both commercial partnerships and internal studio projects. 

Our studio is a foundry for co-creation and you’ll get the chance to contribute as an equal at the conceptual stage and fully involved in design sprints.

Working across a range of disciplines, you’ll have the opportunity to build on your strengths and develop new skills, with the support of the in-house team and a creative mentor.

WHAT WE OFFER

• A solid breadth of experience working with some of the world’s most progressive brands.
• A comprehensive portfolio review and advice from a relevant skillset in the team.
• Remuneration! This is a paid opportunity equivalent to the National Living Wage.
• An incredibly supportive, friendly team who are keen to impart their wisdom.

• Someone at the start of their journey who has a real interest in motion design, branding and animation. This is an extremely exciting time for the industry and we want to find someone who can echo this enthusiasm.
