Where to apprentice!

Depending on the nature of the craft you can check with the living history chapter (I'm sure there's one near you) normally easiest to find at things like historical parks or Ren Fairs. I've picked up info on bobbin lace and card weaving from them. I know I've seen looms at various gatherings.

Not worth responding to.

My deal is ceramics that I learned in several highschool then college courses, Burly Brute, so that is the orb in to which I am tapped. I have a feeling that is not the craft you are interested in learning.

http://www.azfinewoodworkers.org/ Their Christmas party is the 15th. Maybe a time to meet, socialize a bit, and maybe
get a lead on someone who enjoys teaching. Other crafts, from spinning to knitting to fingerpicking guitar have associations,
and generally welcome beginners.


Oops, just realized today is 15th. Hurry!

Your 90 year old grandfather can teach you more than you think just by talking to you if that is "doable"
You are a young pup. talk to him, ask alot of questions. They love it and it is good for him. write it all down. you won't regret it.
Later , when you are working with another's help, a thing or two your Grandfather said might make all the difference in the world with the way you do something.

Oh I have been and you are totally right, I have learned more from him than all the professors I've ever had.

I am self taught on leather working. I don't do any carving, but anything I can envision I can figure out how to make. Start with a belt, drive a couple rivets to fasten the buckle, drill some holes for length, work up.
