Why is it important?

Researchers often coin the term 'apprenticeship' without necessarily defining it, but the examining its use suggests something rich and complex, and thus well suited to describing traditional studio practices.

Perspectives

I wanted to open this term for discussion, convinced that the term 'master and apprentice' need not denote simply defined practices, standards or values. Studio-based learning can be as rich and complex as the term itself, and exploring it can enhance our understanding of a highly specialist area of education.
