Noel and all Orchidians,

    this whole situations is very tricky because of the education
    situation here in the US. There is no such thing as a regulated
    system, everybody can call himself/herself an artist, a designer or
    a craftsperson. In Germany for example you have to have a University
    degree (MA of MFA) to be an Artist, which is the highest possible
    degree, you also can be a Master Goldsmith (3-4 years of
    apprenticeship + master school) or you can be a Goldsmith (3-4 years
    apprenticeship). That's it. Everything you finish will give you a
    certification which you show with every application - no cheating
    and pretending-to-be. This whole system makes it so much easier and
    situations like Noel described will not happen - she would not be
    able to attend a show.
