I'm using a "streaming" video file format that makes it possible for most everyone around the world to watch on most any kind of computer. To make the videos downloadable, I would need to create a second type of video file format that works on iPods and such. It's on my list of things to do… if only there were more hours in the day to get everything done as quick as I would like :)

And about the cane I used to make the trumpet flower, there will be something similar to that coming in the new year. So much to do, so little time. In the mean time keep on practicing those wire working techniques.

@Debi – if you did not already know, the rose cane tutorials we talked about back in Mar'09 are now posted in the library, the Vol-013 back issue package. The link by my name will take you to the reference.

I am so glad that you are enjoying your clay again and that you are learning a lot from the videos! Thank you so much for your comments!

I have learned so much already that I have picked my clay back up and started to follow recipes and projects with your very explanatory videos.

Is there a chance in the near future of showing us how to do the rose canes I see everywhere? The ones with a gradient of color in and around each petal section?

I have tried to make these on my own, and it still eludes me.

Thanks again for the hard work you put in to pass on your talent.

Glad you stumbled upon the site… just in the nick of time too if you want to take advantage of the Charter Member Offer. It ends today (Oct 31).

To answer your question about long term access to the newsletter videos… the answer is YES! As long as you keep current with your $9.95 every 90 days subscription payment, then your personal library will be there for you when you need it.

Please hurry though because as of Nov 1 the price structure for certain levels of access is going up considerably. Here's the step by step process that needs to be completed today if you want the charter member package:

Step 1: Subscribe to the Guest List (use link by my name above) AND click on the verification link in the email you receive after filling out the form.

Step 2: You will then be automatically forwarded to a page with the three free videos that were promised. On this video page is a link to the Members Library Signup page. Click on it and sign up for the $9.95 option. There is a free option too, but if you go that route, you won't be able to take advantage of the charter member offer in Step 3. This payment of $9.95 is billed to your credit card every 90 days and gives you access to the videos and regular recipe cards in Volume-005 as well as all new release going forward… much like a print magazine subscription.

Step 3: Once you have become a PAID member and you are logged into your personal library account, then the link (below) to order the charter member package will work for you. The charter member package gives you access to 4 months of back issue videos and weekly recipes for a $9.95 one-time payment (much like you would purchase back issues of a print magazine). As of Nov 1 it will cost $9.95 x 4 months to purchase the equivalent… 4 times as much. Here is the link to order the charter member package [Remember, you must be logged in as a PAID member for this link to work. And also remember that the $9.95 charter member offer will disappear from this page as of tomorrow, Nov 1].

Once you complete all of the above steps, then all of the links in your personal library will work for you. If you want to read feedback from members who have already taken advantage of the charter member offer, you can do that here: Polymer Clay Tutor Library Grand Opening

Hopefully you read this in time Karen (and anyone else). The charter member package is really incredible value that will never be offered again. Sorry if this sounds salesy but it really is true. And I need to make sure that come November, I won't have a problem with anyone saying, "but you didn't tell us."

I just stumbled onto your site, and I am trying to catch up. I am a newbie too, and I think the club sounds VERY HELPFUL AND FAIR since there is no clay group in my area and to meet I must drive about 1 1/2 hrs. I also would love to buy access to all videos if I can afford the price (since I don't sell pieces, and the money comes out of my budget). By keeping the price affordable it ensures long term participation and more members.

I just want to understand– If we cannot download the videos, can we at least save them to watch at a convenient time. I have small kids, and often times go weeks or months before I can even look at email, much less take time to watch a video. Will it still be there for me to catch up on?

THANKS for everything you do!!
