YES!
I’m seeking or hiring for a craft related job. Can I place an ad here?
YES!
Are home + studio rental and sales listings okay?
YES! But, they need to have a link to Maine craft such as: the owner is a MCA member, the property is a studio rental/sale, the property is uniquely suited to artists and in Maine. We don’t want to list general real estate sales and rentals.

NO, not here, but that can be listed in your member profile OR you might consider our Co-Op Advertising opportunities.

HIRING
Laser Cutter Operator
Maine Flag Company is seeking a Laser Cutter Operator
About Us – Maine Flag Company is Maine’s only nautical flagmaker and the only producer of the original 1901 Maine flag, made entirely in Maine. We’re a small, tight-knit team doing work we’re genuinely proud of — and we’re looking for someone who shares that pride to join us on the production floor.
The Role – A hands-on position for someone who knows their way around a commercial laser cutter and wants to put that experience to work cutting fabric for a made-in-Maine product. You’ll operate our large-format industrial laser cutter daily, working closely with the rest of our small production team. We’ll train you on our specific machine — what we need is someone who already speaks the language.
What You’ll Do
- Set up, operate, and monitor the industrial laser cutter for daily fabric cutting
- Load and position fabric to ensure accurate cuts and minimize material waste
- Adjust cutting parameters — speed, power, focus — to suit different fabrics and job specs
- Perform routine inspections, basic maintenance, and machine cleaning
- Identify and troubleshoot minor issues; escalate larger problems as needed
- Maintain a safe, organized workstation and follow all laser safety protocols
- Track output and flag quality or material issues to the production team
