SFC Snuffy Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 The Center for Metal Arts in Johnstown, Pennsylvania has an internship, which might interest you. The internship competition closes January 15th, so don't wait too long to apply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillyBones Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 I can not think of anywhere you could get experience here, but i would like to say that some idea of where in the states you plan on coming to would be helpful. Anyway, welcome aboard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anvil Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 I'd join ABANA and perhaps put an add in the Anvils Ring. put your skills and itinerary down and offer free help for room and board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
