  Soul making is more than just a perspective on religion.

  Art enables us to have a sense of purpose through what we are doing.

  Just like any form of art is an expression of our emotions, realities, feelings, and perceptions, the solution to our personal growth is through such forms of expressions.
• What are We Doing?

  Through soul making, we are able to make use of our experiences and make ourselves be a better person.
• Everyday Life

  Our life is full of adventures.

  Understanding that every person has a different perspective of seeing things and understanding that there will always be a challenge for each adventure will make us happily dwell in life

  The soul making process is not just reserved for artists, anyone can do this process as everybody is creative in their own right.

  This is just a matter of losing yourself in the world of art and detaching yourself from you to see things in a different perspective.
• An artisan is defined as a skilled worker who construct crafts by hand (French: artisan, Italian: artigiano). An artisan’s work may range from functional to strictly decorative ones, for example furniture, sculpture, decors, jewelry, clothing, food items, household items and tools. Mechanical tools such as handmade clocks and other simple machines are also part of the artisan’s work. Artisans may reach the level of an artist through experience and aptitude.
• The adjective "artisanal" is sometimes used to put emphasis on the hand-processing as compared to machine processing. Some businesses have used the term in marketing and advertising as a buzz word to add prestige to their products such as bread, beverages or cheese. Products like these have traditionally been handmade, but are also now commonly mass-produced using automated mechanization in factories and other industrial areas.
• Before the invention of advanced machineries during the Industrial Revolution, artisans were the dominant producers of consumer products.
• In ancient Greece, artisans frequented the agoras where they built workshops nearby.
• An artist is a person engaged in the creation, practice and performing an art. In its common usage, the term has come to be most often associated with the practitioner in the visual arts only.

  This is also oftentimes used in the entertainment industry, specifically is the context of business, for musicians and other performers as well as writers and actors.
