ALBL Oberammergau is a family business art studio in the heart of the Ammergau Alps in Bavaria, Germany. Do you feel like working with one of the oldest wood sculpting families in Europe (in its 14th generation) on projects from around the world? From a monastery in South Korea, a private chapel in South Africa to a cathedral in the USA…. in addition to clergy and private customers, our clients include renowned architects, artists and designers.

To strengthen our young and dynamic team we are looking for immediately:

• You make unique pieces out of wood for a wide range of sacred commissions
• Your area of work includes the fully sculpted statue as well as relief work. For example, from a larger-than-life crucifix to a altar ornament

• Independent preparation of the wooden block (cutting, planing, gluing)
• You are enthusiastic about classical art and architecture and are familiar with the stylistic elements of the various eras
• Your focus is the naturalistic sculpture

• You attach great importance to details and careful preparation
• You want to learn a lot of new things and like to take on responsibility
