Interesting, I've been considering going the other direction, finances permitting, and having an artist-in-residence or student artist visit my ceramic studio for a few weeks or months in the summer. I feel like it's uncommon to be given access to a reasonable studio, materials, room and board, and a stipend.

Was wondering and discussing with somebody yesterday why USA does not have a strong apprenticeship culture like Europe does.

Hard to have apprenticeships when you're dependent on your employer for health care

Since Sputnik everyone was told to go to college or you're a loser, that peaked in the 2010s and finally busted with Covid, people are just laying flat. Kids put in tons of work, all of the opportunities never materialized.

Its a Structural employment mismatch. We got a preview in 2008 with all the layoffs that became the event that pushed people out of the workforce for the rest of their lives. And there is no retraining programs, because leadership doesn't care. K-type recovery is fine for them

Stem and service jobs could have easily been filled, but leadership would rather ship those overseas.
