Hi Sylvia,
I saw the same dvd. One of my students got it with a wheel he bought. I could not watch it all the way through. It took three tries to make it to the end. I would blame it on poooooooor editing and there are definately some missimg parts that would be worth seeing.
Good luck,
John

>Hi all. Haven't been on the list for years, but am back into clay and
