The world stands on the shoulders of those unwilling to sacrifice tomorrow for today. For whom it's important to keep their word, because they care about their reputation, because they want to be unwaveringly trustworthy tomorrow, to reap the benefits of cooperation.

Those who call good good and bad bad. Who recognize resentment and disapprove of it, who recognize competence and reward it, who recognize excellence and strive towards it. Who think about the next ten thousand years. Who won't let themselves be fooled into believing that deficiency is a virtue and descending to the level of others a good deed. Who don't feed the low but are proud of their prowess and lift those who are willing up to their level instead.

Art - like anything else that one wants money for - needs to be useful to actual people in the real world. But todays world is filled with people who demand to be provided for without charge, and shrunken heroes who are willing to do it. That's why todays art, theatre, cinema and literature are filled with the uninsightful, inconsequential, forgettable and mundane. They draw from nothing and point to nowhere.

Hero's Workshop is an attempt to bring back the heroic artist - a man who is his own sovereign, his own measure, who is owed by none and profits only when his creation is insightful and meaningful enough to be sought and paid for voluntarily. Hero's Workshop was created by Estonian actor, director, artist and craftsman Martin Kork.

Every drawing of mine has books, lectures or a whole research effort behind it. Every piece points to an idea that is profitable to apply in one's own life, or an unanswered question of true heft.

The objects I craft are carefully designed to function both as practical items and pieces of art. I strive towards uncompromising quality, everlastingness and useful beauty. If something I crafted doesn't work as intended or breaks due to my negligence, I will compensate my mistake.
