Journeymen were workers who had been through apprenticeship but not yet finished a masterwork and achieved the status of master. It was not uncommon for them to move from one town or city to another, working with a number of masters to learn what they could from each. They were not called journeymen because of travelling, but from a French word, journee, implying that they could charge a fee for each day's work.
