PRE-RECORDED DEMO “WORKING IN WAX”

$35

Metal artist Jim Pounder has prepared an Infomercial video of his class, Working in Wax. It's a comprehensive look from his shop of the process of taking a concept, an idea, a design, and instructions on how to work in wax, to a finished product. The title of the workshop is, "Working in Wax", and his video compilation is in itself, a work of art. The video is approximately 45 minutes in length.

Mr. Pounder is offering a $35 discount off the purchase of his merchandise to anyone who orders the video.

The video will be stored on online, with a link provided that will become active during the week of the show. Registrants will have access to watch the video after the Museum’s online event is over, and it may be viewed as often as desired. The artist retains all intellectual property rights, and may market it elsewhere after the DMMDT event is over.
