After almost four long years…I am pleased to present my freshly published book, Master Your Craft: Strategies for Designing, Making, and Selling Artisan Work:

Schiffer sent a congratulatory bottle of wine in the same package:

and a congratulatory letter:

The last line of the letter invites me to work with Schiffer on future projects. I may well do that…but for now, I’m just going to savor this one.
Four years of work, finally come to fruition.
