    A practical approach to teaching workshops is the illustration of
    technique through practical exercises done in the class. The
    practical exercise is a means to acquire the skill set of the applied
    technique by producing a finished item or a series of sketches which
    demonstrate the method, process, and procedure of the subject being
    taught. 

    Depending upon the particular technique and the experience level of
    the participants it is usually beneficial to have everyone execute
    the same project and create the same object. In most circumstances
    the project itself need not be a proprietary design from the
    teacher's own body of work. It can be a generic design which
    accommodates the necessities of the applied technique.
