Is there any way to redo the audio and get rid of the fast paced intese buzzing music in the background. It completely takes away from the subject matter expert who is now competing for my attention with horrible noise I would never listen to under any circumstances. The noise won and I stopped watching the videos. Just looked up. I am not alone…

No music but I loved all of Johns comments. I had my students to do triaxels some time ago, they came up with such wonderful results. They have not put them into practice yet and I think that they will have to carry them further.I did not have any info on how to formulate glazes,but John really explained in such away that where I could not explained. I have done exactly the same principle that John had explained but as a self tutored potter the explanations were hard.
