“It seems like a very good life to have,” she said. “I love the atten- tion to detail [being able to use] my creativity, and being a spokes- person as a woman in the trades, as well as working with people who are masters in the craft. I’ve been a little bit of a spokesperson for my friends, especially the art students. They have a fear of not knowing what to do with their degree; they don’t want to go into gallery art. So learning about trades is beneficial.” Meyer loves the variety of the work: “The tile work is all very unique, and different every day, whereas wood finishing was kind of repetitive. Everything is done very artistically and you are a designer as well as a craftsperson.” Being “pressure tested” as an apprentice has its hurdles as well, with daily challenges and new things that have never been attempted before. “It can be frus- trating, but it’s challenging in a good way, to work with high-end materials in the home,” Meyer said.
