About the Apprenticeship, from Simon Levin:

"In 2004 we started an apprenticeship program at Mill Creek Pottery with the idea of creating a symbiotic experience.  In many ways, I designed the program to offer the experience I would have liked to have had when I was trying to find my voice in clay.  Today in the United States apprenticeships in the studio arts have become a vibrant educational avenue in arts education. The apprentices play a vital role in the success of the pottery allowing for more opportunities to travel, create and learn. Over the years my program has grown along with my business and now I generally have two apprentices at a time. The apprenticeship is an intense relationship, I am looking for young people to invest in, and who are committed to the field of ceramics. As of 2024 I have had the pleasure to work with 26 apprentices."
