The #1 purpose for your time at IGTC is to broaden and deepen your intellectual ability and prepare you for career success. Your goal is to learn, and the time-honoured way to learn a skill or trade is apprenticeship. If you want to be a glass-blower, you would go and study with a master glass-blower. You would follow his movements and try to absorb his knowledge.
