Training
All apprentices are introduced to each other's discipline by a specialist in
that area, in order that everyone has a basic knowledge of the skills
and possibilities available for the creation of work. In addition, each apprentice
is given specific training in their own art form and how this relates to each of the projects. This takes the form of workshops and short placements.
