The Artist Apprenticeship
The Artist Apprenticeship is a hands-on, studio-based learning experience for young people who want to explore the world of fibre art. Apprentices learn traditional skills including spinning, weaving, knitting, textile design, and creative journalling while working in a real textile studio.
The programme is structured as a two-year apprenticeship, divided into seven progressive certificate levels. Every apprentice progresses at their own pace, developing confidence, technical skill, and their own creative voice through practical making and guided mentorship.
Certificate One (Red Level) includes 20 studio sessions and is $1,450. Each session combines practical tuition, quality materials, and the opportunity to create a portfolio of handmade work while learning the foundations of textile craftsmanship.
