Studio Equipment Documentation Volunteer

Studio Equipment Documentation Volunteer

Purpose

Help make our studio tools more accessible by creating clear, easy-to-follow instructional resources for Momentum artists. In this role, you’ll demonstrate how to use studio equipment—such as 3D printers, sewing machines, Cricut machines, and more—while capturing both video and step-by-step written guides that artists can reference independently. Your work will support skill-building, confidence, and safe use of equipment across the studio.

General Expectations

As a volunteer, you are expected to:

• Learn and demonstrate proper use of studio equipment, including safety considerations.
• Create clear, step-by-step instructional guides to accompany video content.
• Capture video demonstrations that align with written instructions for ease of use.
• Use platforms such as Scribe, Whale, or similar to document processes.
• Take an iterative approach—testing instructions and refining based on feedback.
• Engage with artists to understand where confusion may occur and adjust accordingly.
• Ensure instructions are accessible and easy to follow for a range of skill levels.
• Communicate with staff regarding priorities, equipment use, and documentation needs.
• Represent Momentum’s mission and values in a positive and professional manner.

Time Commitment

This is a flexible, project-based role. Volunteers may focus on documenting one piece of equipment or multiple tools over time. Scheduling will be coordinated with staff based on studio availability and project needs.

Health and Safety

• Follow all studio health and safety protocols.
• Ensure all demonstrations model safe and appropriate use of equipment.
• Clearly communicate any safety considerations within instructional materials.
• Be mindful of artists’ safety and comfort when testing instructions or gathering feedback.
