One of the great optimism of life is knowing how to make art and craft. By this I mean; at any time I can go into one of my studios and make work, I know how. Over a lifetime this brings such optimism and eagerness to any given moment but also another great gift, anticipation! When you have reached a certain level of skilled confidence in your abilities, the awareness that you can awaken at any moment, the thought, “I have this skill”, is almost as good as making with the skill. Just the pure fact, I am able to make good work, is part of the joy of the life of making good work.
