Apprenticeship
In the south Florida area you might try asking Jim Smith at Durastone in Vero Beach. I am not sure if he teaches but he may know of who does.

Good luck

I was entertaining the idea of working primarily with a mentor (full or part time). Became interested in the idea of shadowing one expert designer to have full 1-on-1 training.

I am in the South Florida area, is anyone or does anyone know of a expert bonsai artist who would be interested in taking on an apprentice?
