Do you want to create unique, brilliantly designed works of craft? Make the most of your studio time? Develop your artistic "voice," skills, and career?

Then this book is for you.

Refine your designs into visually powerful, useful work that is practical to make and sell
Transform your creative process to work more enjoyably and effectively

Identify your distinctive personal style
Create a career for yourself, either as an artist or an artisan.

Packed with advice from master woodworkers, glass workers, ceramicists, textile artists, metalworkers, and more, Master Your Craft will enable you to create stunning pieces and - if you choose - develop your craft into a career.
