Where have you been Prof. John? We miss you💔😪 You've taught me sooooo much over the last 6 years and I've now finally gotten all the "big" jewelers tools 🔧 💙 (ie. Rolling mill, faceting lap grinder, pendant motor w/flex shaft etc etc) and I need more online Jewelery Academy tutorials 😀 😄 I think you are one of the most thorough and precise teachers on silversmith techniques, metal casting, and Jewelery making techniques in general❤💯 please make more videos with new and exciting ideas for us to try🙏🏻🥰❤💯😘🙏🏻

Hi Lauren,
Thanks for the sweet and complimentary message. The OJA is currently on hold for a variety of reasons: many related to Covid. Congratulations on building your own studio. I hope that you are having fun exploring and developing your craft. Hopefully I’ll be back sometime soon with more ideas for you.
