Interior Decorators – Encouraging the Young Apprentices & Craftsworkers
Long Gallery ceiling
Scary times ! One of our Apprentice Interior Decorators worked on a different type of project this week- its the first time he has been asked to take responsibility for planning the work procedures, anticipating his material requirements on site, & checking it against the estimate and specifications. He also had to consider the time allowed against what he was achieving under his own strict controls.
Our daughter is a newly started apprentice in a different creative industry, and its good to see the same wide-eyed cautious steps turning into confident, well practised strides. Thankfully there are mentors and old hands willing to pass on their skills, the techniques and good ways of working which you can only be shown , not learned online or from diagrams – some thing just MUST be demonstraighted.
It’s fresh energy our youngsters bring to our Interior Decorating Team, it’s a chance to revisit old learning and to have toolbox discussions at break time of previous projects, and share the wisdom, knowledge of the trade, and often laughter. Not just the early days when they are sent on errands ” Go to the Yard and get some Elbow Grease was one … next to the Scumbles etc.. ” .
