Beautiful Work Kevin. I am Maltese Canadian my parents immigrated here from Malta in the fifties. I can speak fluent Maltese but because this thing doesn't pick up very well I'm sending you this message in English. Thank you for your talent. If and when I get a chance to come to Malta I'd like to come and see you.
Sadly we live in a world where money is king and patience is scarce, so it's no surprise you are finding it difficult to pass on your extensive skill, (personally, I would jump at the chance to learn and pass on your craftmanship) I make things purely for the pleasure of learning a new craft or skill and was once offered the chance to show and sell my pieces in a jewelers shop I visited to buy two chains for the pendants I had made as gifts for friends, I thanked her but refused, explaining that if I had to rely on selling the things I loved making I would no longer love making them! The moral of the story is, Keep work and pleasure separate. it may work for a few but it's rare!
