DVD Update

As most of you know, I started work on two instructional DVDs in August.   We finished up filming the beginning of November and are now heavy into the editing phase.   A couple thousand video segments all need to be stitched together into a cohesive whole, graphics added, titles, images, music and more.   Once that is done, then comes replication and packaging.  As of now, we are looking for a release date sometime in the first quarter of 2014.   
The process has been a learning curve for me.  It's much more involved than I originally thought it would be.  However, I am very proud of the work we are doing.  Enameling on Copper Clay and Enameling on Silver clay are going to be complete, comprehensive instructional DVDs.   Each video will include a beginning, intermediate and more advanced project.   I've addressed both metal clay and enameling thoroughly, so it will appeal to both enamelists who want to learn metal clay, and metal clay artists who want to learn enameling. Truly, they have something for everyone.  
 
Here's a little peek into why filming this thing took so long...
