My personal Mike B crusade

A few months back I get a message asking if I could help someone find copies of Mike Buesseler’s old polymer VHS videos. They haven’t been in production for MANY years and have become impossible to find. I have felt for a long time that it was a crime to just let all Mike’s amazing talent and teaching ability fade into the past. The new generation of polymer clay users would never know what they were missing !!!

I sort of took it upon myself to find out who holds the copyright to the videos now. After much Googling and asking around the polymer clay community, it turned out that person was Tory Hughes. 😀 After some emails back and forth, it was decided to take the old videos and create digital copies that could easily be distributed.  Next was trying to find a place to host the videos. I tried a couple file sharing websites, but that was not working. Luckily the IPCA (International Polymer Clay Association) stepped up and was able to use their verified YouTube account to upload the huge video files. They videos are FREE for everyone to enjoy. They will always be free of charge.

    What an awesome thing you’ve done, tracking this down and posting it with permission! Thanks a million to you, Tory, and Mike for making this available to us for free. It’s an incredible thing you’ve done for the polymer community! And how fun is it peeping back in time this way? I love it!

    Ohmygosh! Thank you so much for this. I’ve been looking for eons (it seems that long, to me) for these on any media format. Much appreciated.
