What an amazing look at the creative process! Austen is truly a gifted artist! I so enjoyed hearing about his journey as he learned his craft in such a unique self taught process. His work is incredible and Eric, your first attempt is absolutely stunning! He was a wonderful teacher and you were an excellent student! Never sell yourself short... God has given you a unique gift to learn new things and create beautiful works of art! God bless!
Thank you so much Cindy. I appreciate your kind words.
@@CraftsmansLegacy you're so very welcome! God bless you & Buddy on this Patriot's Day weekend!
What a wonderful young sculptor, he's a great example of perseverance and not giving up.
Great point! He is a very talented man.
Tears came to this older guys eyes well Austen talked about his fav.....a boy holding a flower....beholding beauty that sings out to us all...crafting a moment...
Now THAT was an Awesome video. That young man rolled out his dream before him. Hearing his journey from his own words, I felt a lot of what it took for him to reach his goals. I am inspired greatly by the fact that when he came upon obstacles, he found ways, his own, to overcome them. And it is clear that he did not give up. Austen, I salute you. I am old(er) but you inspire me. I would count myself lucky if I met you one day. Thank you.
Well said!
Great episode. Austen is an inspiring and very intelligent young man.
Thank you. I couldn't agree more!
Detroit holds so much talent. Love it. Austen is fantastic. First time for you, OMGOSH. He's also an excellent teacher and inspiration. Thank you for the video...All of them❤
There's soooo many wonderful artists / craftsmen in Detroit. It's been super cool seeing develop more into that space. Thank you for the kind words!
What an awesome sculptor!
Austen is incredibly talented!
What an amazing artist/craftsman. And holy cow, yours is impressive for a first piece. Thanks for the video.
Thank you very much!
What a beautiful answer to "Do you see yourself as a craftsmen or an artist?".
I too enjoy that! Great answer.
“This is the front, right?”
Brilliant!
Haha! right!
Love these shows. So peaceful to watch and listen
Thank you!
Hey Eric, your statement "I'm not afraid to fail..." Is so true, and maybe necessary to take the next step in the craft.
Only way to live! You have to be willing to fall down and learn
Love, love, love, love!
Thank you
Breathtaking ! This episode is breathtaking ! Thanks Eric to offer this to our world !
Finally, everyone can then understand that doing sculpture is the same as drawing : you need to stop thinking and use your eyes to capture the reality, not your brain.
"Do what you see, not what you think" is the key of success for such a difficult art… You're a lucky man to get the chance to have a try with Austen, believe me !
And when I see how "human" are the faces he does, it moves me a lot !
Well said! Thank you
Austin you are amazing, thank you for sharing your dream with us and thank you Eric for bringing him to us!
Thank you for watching!
Very powerful when your muse reveals itself to you. Inspiration: from the Latin inspirationum: to breathe into from the spirit, or the breath of God. Let it define who you are as an artist and craftsman. Find joy in your creative processes.
Well put. Thank you
Amazing artist feature, and Eric you did a awesome job for your first time…you are so fused with the artisan and creators world
Thank you!!
I can't begin to express how this just inspired me as an artist, Austen, thankyou your work is amazing! I can see your a master at what you do,I've always have wanted to sculpt in clay so far I've just snow sculpted horses out of snow. And they melt. Eric the way you express yourself, inspires me too, I've never been good at that.
Thank you so much 😀
I fell in love with show because the host is humble and great programs that inspire to always be open to new ideas
Thank you for the kind words. 🙂
The sculpture is blessed..
I agree! Thank you
Austen's talent is amazing! I commend you for having the courage to try sculpting. Hard to believe that was your first attempt. It turned out great!
Thank you so much! Austen is a great teacher and always made sure I was on track
All of your videos are very inspiring. Thank you so much for sharing them.
So nice of you. Thank you
Great job guys!!👍👍I got to watch this episode ltr than expected, Austin's talent is amazing,as well as his shared story!!✌️💜😎Thank-you for sharing n always looking fwd to the nxt episode of A Craftsman's Legacy!!Hv a great wk!
I have only just come across this craftsman series, my partner Ford Hallam who is a renowned Japanese metalwork artist shared it on his Patreon channel. I felt really moved and inspired as a fellow craftsperson to hear Austen’s take about the definitions of art and craft, I call myself an artist goldsmith because the artist and crafts woman combined makes what I am.
Thanks for the series, I am excited to watch the rest.
That's awesome! Thank you for watching.
Eric, I can’t believe how awesome you did, I know you are an artist but clay the first time….wow
Thank you. I had a great teacher!
I live in Atlanta Georgia, and I'm a well-known Craftsman... You spent too much time with trepidation... instead of walking it like a tightrope scared to death keep going... man I'm glad I grew up in the projects because it ain't nothing I can't do well. And I would have went in there just like you did but I would have never told him I was scared or I didn't think I was going to be that good... You are that good dude... LOL you are
Nice job on your piece. I think mine would have looked more like a Picasso drawing.
Haha! Thank you
Liked#140. Wow, so amazing. I feel so happy to see the outcome of the sculptor you are molding now. As if I want to try. So beautiful and very interesting. You are very incredibly fast. Look alike of the model..You are great teacher and a good student.
Sending my full package of support to you.
Thank you so much 😀
As a man who grew up with a kiln and has an opinel #6 in his pocket. I approve. I sculpted and glazed a penguin that won many awards. I approve.
Thank you. I like Opinel knives too.
👍👍👍👍👍great story!
Thank you 🤗
You chose an amazing artist to feature! It was so interesting to watch both of you work on each piece. They both turned out beautiful! I did worry a bit when the head was cut in half and saw all that slip slide down the face! The piece that Austin showed that he intentionally broke was really cool! I really enjoyed the interview, too. What a talented artist and I hope to see more of his work. Thank you for introducing him to us. Great show!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Excellent! He is an amazing artist/ craftsman. Yours sculpture was really, really good🐝🤗
Thank you so much 😀
@@CraftsmansLegacy You’re welcome🤗❤️🐝
LOVED IT!
Excellent show sir. Thank you for featuring another hidden craftsman and sharing it with us all. Can't wait for the next one!👍
Thank you!!!
Absolutely amazing! Austen is extremely talented man and the fact that your sculpture turned out so well says a lot about his talent and yours for be a quick learner.
So true! Thank you
This was an amazing episode. One of the greatest processes of life is finding your purpose and being able to pursue it in everyday life. His passion for his craft was amazing to watch. 🙏🏽
Very true! Thank you
I am absolutely sure that it is more important to develop a thousand skills that will allow you to execute and express your art. This includes not only the manual skill but also the sensual skills like your five senses.
Great point!
Great episode! I just don't get how these don't have more views!
Hi Eric, I have been a very devoted follower of your Legacy shows for years.You and the crafts people you introduce us to are truly inspirational. It is fascinating to see and hear them go on about their craft and each episode gets better than the last. Please keep on producing such worthwhile programming for many more years to come. BTW who manufactures that great flannel shirt you are wearing while sitting in the rocking chair on the porch, a classic look for a truly classy guy. May God Bless
Wow! Thank you for the kind words, how kind.
A friend made that shirt for me. I really like it! Thank you again.
Good work, keep it up!
Thanks!
Amazing
Thanks
wow, to make that bunch of clay to look like a person, great job.
It was so cool to watch Austen work and learn a little from him. Thank you for watching!
WOW
Hi from uk , I’ve been trying to find alternative finishes and messed with acrylic and then shoe polish , I love the wood stain idea , did you seal that with a satin or matt spray varnish ? Hope you don’t mind me asking
Yes we did. Worked out great
It seems he works in quadrants for his placement of her features
Yes he did.
