A comment on Saturday’s post about my search for an apprenticeship on the East Coast sent me skipping to Apprenticementor.com, a non profit website where mentors and apprentices can find each other. The new venture was launched last week by apprentice Jennifer Kahn, and artist Celie Fago, a team for almost nine years.

What a lovely and helpful website. Can’t wait to check it out. Guess I’ll do that now….
Wow Susan,
Thank you so much for your wonderful write up of my new venture. I’ve had the idea for years, I wanted more people to be able to do what what we’ve done – Celie says this is my thesis. It was only an idea though and Simplenation.com generously made it a reality.
How timely that we launched this just as you were looking for an apprenticeship! I hope you find one through the site.
Best and thanks again!

This is the best idea I’ve seen anywhere. Those of us out here just creating on our own can benefit from a mentor’s input enormously. The idea of one day becoming a mentor is inspiring. I’m a fan already. Watching from the wings on MetalClayGallery and MCG2 have been awesome. Personal interaction about our work will be a step up for many like me. Thanks for this forum. It offers much and I, for one, am ready to mix it up and create together.
