Hello from Essex :)

Hi My names Hanna, im from colchester in essex, and i’m currently working my hardest to find an apprenticeship. Unfortunately i’ve had some bad experiences with a couple of studios in the past, which kind of knocked my confidence slightly and made it a little intimidating to go into shops and present my portfolio.
Any advice would be so greatly appreciated!!
Thank you for reading

Hello Hanna, I don't have any tips to give as never went that apprentice route, and besides I'm in Sweden I just wanted to welcome you to the forum, and hope everything will work out for you eventually
