Becoming a master craftsman typically involves several key stages:
apprentice, journeyman, master
A craftsman would become an apprentice to a master and would learn everything from him. Most craftsmen also made their own techniques which would be passed down from master to apprentice, which is how it all started.
The three steps to guild membership were apprenticeship, journeyman status, and becoming a master craftsman. Apprentices would learn the trade from a master, then journeyman would gain more experience working for various masters, before finally becoming a master themselves and being able to run their own workshop.
The three stages of craftsmanship were the apprentice stage, journeyman stage, and master craftsman stage. Apprentices would learn the basics of a craft, journeyman would gain experience and further skills, and master craftsmen would achieve a high level of proficiency and could take on apprentices of their own.
The apprentice learns the skills of his trade from the master craftsman. When the master craftsman decides that the apprentice has learned all he needs, apprenticeship ends and the apprentice becomes a journeyman who usually leaves the master craftsman to practice his trade on his own.
Replicating this ancient, intricate molding will require the skills of a master craftsman.
