Hi
here is the full quote, sorry left some out last post. This is what
I was told as a student.
In order to set the creative spirit free, it is necessary to impart to the student a good grounding in mechanical technique, without which, the translation from imagination to three dimensional form is severely restricted. It has therefore always been my policy to teach excellence in craftsmanship, while fostering the exploration of new ideas, in order to bring the images of the n-dimensional reality of the mind, into the three dimensional reality of the physical world.
