Craftsmanship names an enduring, basic human impulse, the desire to do a job well for its own sake. - Richard Sennett
If it's flipping hamburgers at McDonald's, be the best hamburger flipper in the world. Whatever it is you do you have to master your craft. - Snoop Dogg
With research spanning three decades, Charles Collins is continuously engaged in the study of 'The Way of Craftsmanship' - as handed down over the centuries by master craftsmen and craftswomen across the world - to uncover the universal principles for developing a high level of skill in any endeavor in one's life.
From Asia, Africa, Europe, the Middle East, and the Americas, he discovered there is a clear set of practical, down-to-earth principles that transcend cultures and time, which anyone can apply to skillfully practice 'life-as-a-craft'.
Life-as-a-Craft To practice the whole of 'life-as-a-craft', the way a craftsperson mindfully practices the trade of textile weaving, medicine, or carpentry, requires that the myriad activities of the 'craft-of-life' be systematically organized, managed, taught, and learned similar to the ways in which we organize, manage, teach and practice our trades, occupations, and professions.
In 2012 with the release of Making a Masterpiece of Your Life, Charles introduced the Five Elements of practicing 'life-as-a-craft', based on the organizing principles found in the world's craftsmanship teachings, practices, and traditions.
Making a Masterpiece of Your Life Making a Masterpiece of Your Life - the book - published in 2012, quickly became an Amazon #1 seller in the Personal Transformation and Motivational Self-Help categories.
Seven years later in the Summer of 2019, 'The Way of Craftsmanship: The Tao of 'Life-as-a-Craft' - was released in the Success & Self-Help category on Amazon books. In September of that same year, season one of Making A Masterpiece of Your Life - the podcast - was released on the Apple and Google Podcast platforms and other popular locations.
The following year www.MyLifeMasterpiece.com opened to people of all ages and skill levels as a resource to learn and apply the principles of craftsmanship, and the Five Elements curriculum for "Making A Masterpiece of Your Life."
In Charles' own words: "If you're going to make something of your life, make it a masterpiece."
So if you're ready, take out your pencils, and let's begin.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
