I&#8217;m not knocking YouTube at all. Thankfully, it is responsible for introducing so many people to the<\/span><!--more--><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"> wonderful concept of online streaming video. In fact, my premium tutorials are <em><strong>ALL<\/strong><\/em> on video. It&#8217;s such an effective way to learn. Much better than books according to these ladies&#8230;<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Cindy, You are the best&#8230;\u00a0 I have books, books, and more books but there is nothing like your hands on teaching.\u00a0 I look forward to each new e-mail and I love your &#8220;down to earth&#8221; style. Thank you so much. <span style=\"font-size: large;\"><strong>~Ginger<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">My problem was that I was overwhelmed by all the reading material available and unable to translate the information into action. I was in a frustrated state of inaction. Books do not show you exactly how to do things, just because the amount of pictures available are limited and the subtleties of technique are omitted. Your videos however are invaluable. Your manner of tuition is the best that I have encountered. You are clear and concise and not a bit patronizing. You are very generous because you give a clear message that these techniques are achievable and you encourage experimentation. I have you there 24 hours a day on video, so that I can recheck my methodology. <span style=\"font-size: large;\"><strong>~Cara<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Cindy, Where I come from Nobody does or has even seen polymer clay. I live in a small town in Minnesota, and drive an hour to buy my clay. I look at books but it isn&#8217;t the same as seeing it done. What you do is great. I have learned a lot and best of all I can do it!! <strong><span style=\"font-size: large;\">~Sharon<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Bravo Hun on another great tutorial. You made it look so simple and easy. Wish I&#8217;d have seen this when I tried my first ones. I remember trying to follow directions from a book and agonizing over trying to make mine look like the ones in the illustrations. But of course there weren&#8217;t enough pictures. And of course they didn&#8217;t look very much like leaves when I was done. Unless of course they were some kind of radioactive mutant plant form, LOL! But if I could have watched a good tutorial like yours I have no doubt I would have done much better and much sooner, with lots less frustration. Thanks so much for being you and sharing so generously with everyone the way you do. I know if more people could watch your tutorials, the ranks of clayers would grow exponentially when they saw how easy and fun it really is and passed the word along.

It&#8217;s true. That&#8217;s because to produce high quality multimedia tutorials week after week after week&#8230; it requires a tremendous amount of dedication and resources.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">If you did not already know, my husband and I are 100% committed to creating weekly how to videos all about making beautiful polymer clay beads and handmade jewelry.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Your work and videos are high quality and I am sure they take a LOT of time to make &#8230; Your techniques such as pinching the cane over the end of a paint brush or use of bugle bead in the middle of a mobius bead are not out there &#8230; not something thrown together and always get me thinking in a different direction. <strong><span style=\"font-size: large;\">~Anna<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Cindy, I am sooooo excited after viewing my first 5 tutorials!!! I don&#8217;t even like to call them videos as they are online classes indeed! &#8230; they ARE worth the money. I was scared they would be vague in information especially since they are short. Wrong!! They are so clear, (no distracting background noises, fuzziness etc.) your explanation of procedures, products&#8230;nicely executed. Might I add your voice is very personable. Thanks so much. YouTube has nothing on you girl. <span style=\"font-size: large;\"><strong>~Chanel<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><strong>These videos aren&#8217;t free&#8230;<\/strong><\/span> but then again, they aren&#8217;t expensive either.

Watching Cindy&#8217;s videos are like having her right in your studio. She makes me fill not so &#8220;alone&#8221; in a big polymer clay world. I especially appreciate the fact that, as an expert, Cindy does not make me feel like a silly newbie as some experts can. She understands the trials and tribulations that occur with a learning curve and it is her focus to help us learn from her mistakes. It&#8217;s because of Cindy&#8217;s videos that I had the courage to actually take the next step, rather than just reading books over and over. In addition to the great videos, Cindy provides other invaluable resources in her daily blogs and color recipes. And if you have questions, comments, or feedback, she is prompt in her responses. This gal works very hard and is dedicated. You can&#8217;t go wrong with The Polymer Clay tutor.
