Apprenticeship Program
Year 1

Year One:

• During the first year we looked at what it takes to be in business.
  • We look at what a target market is and how to utilize it.
  • Ways to got yourself out there.
• Time management and balance.
• How to self-critique in a healthy way.
• How to work and refine their skills.
• You can learn how to run a studio from start to finish and all the behind the scenes work that goes into running a studio such as:
  • Loading and unloading kilns.
  • Making and developing glazes.
  • The how and why of safe studio practices.
  • How to run  different types of kilns.

Like my own life, this is all an organic process. We set the agreed goals and we work on them all year. Some pieces take longer than others. I work with the idea of leaving the apprentice ready to take on what they need to do and the self-motivation to do so.  I tend to leave a bit of time in between one year to the next, as it is important for the apprentice to integrate what they have learned.

​This program works on the Barter system. there is no money exchange. The apprentice works in the studio doing chores while learning valuable skills.
