Alchemy Carta: The company:
The Alchemy Carta Ltd began as a small
model making and casting business in Leicester in 1977. The
company has steadily grown in size and stature with its unique
range of expertise and experience and is still run by the
original founders.
As can be seen from our group web site, Alchemy is now a
highly respected specialist design, manufacturing and distribution
company, producing jewellery, giftware and merchandise and
undertaking commission work for many other companies. Nearly
all these products, which are made principally in pewter,
are manufactured by Alchemy’s skilled development and
production staff at their own main premises in Leicester and
at its sheet-metal shop in Sheffield.
Alchemy also licenses much of its design and artwork to many
other companies around the world for the production of a wide
diversity of distinctive lifestyle products.

Job: Trainee Illustrator & Designer
Alchemy Carta are looking to appoint
a talented protégé/understudy to the Head Illustrator,
to join the staff of the company’s small Origination
Department in Leicester.
The position will require strong
background knowledge and understanding in medieval and religious
history, mythology, folk law and the supernatural. Theory
and practice in the history of art, with a particular emphasis
on medieval, gothic, renaissance and Victorian design will
be essential, in addition to some familiarity with the contemporary
‘goth’ culture.
Principle prerequisites for this position will be the demonstration
of skill and experience in traditional, detailed, colour illustration,
(especially acrylics), together with essential drawing skills
and disciplines. These would include anatomical and (historical)
architectural subjects as well as general composition, perspective
and light. Creative graphic design skills will also be required
to fulfil this role successfully.
Although not essential at this
stage, experience in computer graphics would also be an advantage,
as some limited work in Photoshop, Freehand/Illustrator, etc,
will eventually become an integral feature of the job.
