‍Cave Paper, an independently owned handmade paper production studio operating in Tucson, Arizona, is currently looking for help. They need a part-time production assistant and at least one student-intern. People of all ages, backgrounds, genders, and identities are encouraged to apply!

Cave Paper is a dynamic space often with multiple projects cycling through at once.
