Everything Is Practice

Joshua talks through the rules of his workshop. 1. One bench top space dedicated to writing/sketching. 2. Maintain an altar. 3. Everything in the shop is replaceable. Nothing is precious. Use tools and materials with that mentality. 4. Clean bench spaces and sweep floor at the end of every day in the shop. 5. Keep a book library. 6. Keep a materials library. 7. A chair/stool should be clean and available for visitors. Also, seltzer water. 8. It is good to say "thank you" when entering and exiting the shop.
