So grateful to have found your series. I have learned so much. Thank you
Ya know, I'm more into casting metals, but this series is so well done I just have to watch it. I always appreciate good teachers.
Thanks, have you ever tried precious metal clay? Mostly used for jewelry, it's casting and ceramics combined.
@@WashingtonStreetStudios No. I'll look into it. There's a lot of crossover here indeed.
Absolutely love the bit on the element of surprise :D
Phil had a quirky sense of humor we all enjoyed!
