To learn in the workshop, you need two hands (one might be enough), eyes, glasses (not always), raw materials (mostly minerals), some light, a fair amount of curiosity, and a somewhat worn sign on the wall that reads, in wooden letters, in capital letters: NEITHER GOD NOR MASTER.
You go to the workshop to be there, which is not the same as being. Being there involves: doing, thinking, extending, contemplating, breaking, silencing, ordering, returning.
The proof that what matters is being there can be found in that definitive phrase that accompanies every ending in the workshop and that you have surely heard or said at some point: ‘It’s done.’
