Work With Us

ABOUT US: We are The Works, and we believe that learning should be fun, inspiring, and enriching!

• Cultivating a welcoming environment and checking in students
• Providing wine and beer service (a MAST permit required, we will pay for your training if needed)
• Assisting with set-up and clean-up
• Operating the point of sale system
• Some classes and events will take place at our workshop in Fremont, while others will take place on-site at various client locations around Seattle.
