    I am not at all familiar with how apprenticing works and would like
    thoughts and suggestions from the group. 

    I have been designing and making sterling silver jewelry part-time
    for about six years....my real job is my husband and I own a small
    winery which is full-time for the two of us. I have my studio in the
    back of the winery. 

    I would like to spend more time making jewelry and learn as much as
    I can. I've spoken briefly with a local jeweler who I have kept in
    touch with over the year's and expressed an interest in
    apprenticing. We didn't go over any details other than I should get
    back to him after the holidays and that I could start out by
    observing first, then learn how to do repairs and set stones. I told
    him about some of the classes I've taken and he also mentioned New
    Approach. 

    My question is, does a person get paid when apprenticing? I'm really
    interested in working for this jeweler and I know he would be
    flexible with my hours with my other business.
