Alex, not only are you a huge inspiration for me and a proof of how far you can go - you have pushed my limits and believes in what I can (if I practice enough) - but you also appear to me, from our chats and discussions at Facebook, as one of the nicest people I have "met" in this business. Thank you
Hi Mikkel!😎 Thanks for your kind words. This is the great thing about RU-vid, Facebook, etc. Artists sharing their experiences from around the world. It would be fun to meet someday! I just watched one of your workshop videos and everyone looks like they’re having a great time.🔥🔥🔥
@@alexlongart I very much agree. We all gain most from sharing - professionally and personally. I always did that and I appreciate others - like you, that do so too. And yes, I would love to meet one day when all this pandemic is over. You are on the top of my list :-)
That's amazing Alex, beautiful work. Made me chuckle though when the first lid stuck, had that happen to me a few times. At least the second one compensated for that though. Best regards from the UK>
Yes, go for it! At each connection, trim from the inside, the thicker clay. If you don’t, it will look good until it’s dry. The thicker areas will shrink a little more and ruin the perfect form, leaving the joined sections obvious. Good luck! Send me a photo if you’d like to. Or if you have any questions. alexlongart@att.net. 🔥😎🔥
Yes, I laid the leather hard piece on its side and sprayed foam insulation half the way up. This gave it uniform support. I separated the foam from the piece with trash bags.
