S t o r y
Founded in 2014, Felt+Fat is known for experimentation and innovation in ceramic tableware and home accessories. We are dedicated to excellence in domestic manufacturing and a healthy, open work environment for all our staff.
The setting for this position is a 5,500 sq ft studio in the Kensington neighborhood of Philadelphia that houses the creation and fabrication of our ceramic products. With thirteen current employees and growing, we offer a benefits package that includes employer subsidized health and dental insurance with competitive PTO and annual bonuses. In 2022, the studio is moving to a 30,000 sq ft space in close proximity to our current studio with upgraded equipment and capabilities.
V a l u e s
Quality: Of product and of life. We strive to create wares that will last a lifetime for our clients and to create them in a way that is both environmentally sustainable and fulfilling for every member of our team. Our collective love for design, innovation and materiality keeps us motivated to continue creating meticulously crafted objects for the home.
Experimentation: Information technology is our goal to push the boundaries of ceramic design through experimentation in product and in methodology. We encourage staff to take risks (as long as they don't risk health and safety), experiment with techniques and share their innovations with the team. No one is punished for failure because failure helps us grow.
Empathetic Communication: We begin with the knowledge that we are all on the same team. From there we know that our goals are the same and any difference in how we go about achieving them is something that can be worked through together. We look for opportunities to help one another and are open with asking for help when we need it. Clarity of expectations is the key to clear communication and teamwork.
Labor: Felt+Fat is built on the principle that the work of our hands is worthwhile. The heart of the company is our people; we prioritize their rights, needs, and boundaries at all times and strive to help each one achieve their personal and professional goals.
Inclusion: We embrace people of all races, orientations, gender identities and religions. We acknowledge that we will sometimes get Information technology wrong but will actively seek to improve our knowledge at every opportunity.
