Dustin Tabor Off Mandrel Tutorial

[Libby L.]

Hey guys! I was talking to Dustin yesterday and trying to convince him to do a tutorial of his off mandrel technique with some complex canes and other cool stuff that he does.
Dustin is such a great teacher and so detailed in his classes I think it would be a great tutorial.

I told him I would test the waters for him on LE, so how about it, is there any interest?

[Libby L.]

Wow 23 looks and no interest???

[Wendyki]

oooohh me :) please

[Libby L.]

Yea Wendy!!!

Dustin is sending me pics tonight and I will post them later.

[swamper]

Cool - I'm a tut ho.

[Laurie L]

I really like Dustins work. I would love a tutorial by him.

[Karen Hardy]

I think it would help if you posted a picture of
the items the tutorial would cover.
I have no idea of what the tutorial would be about (but, that said, I
really haven't met a tutorial I didn't like :lol:).

[Carmen Isaacs]

I think this would be amazing. He is one of the best, I would buy it for sure.

[Yellow Dog Girl]

He's a great teacher. I have a feeling this is what Libby is talking about....I made these after a class I took from him. His are much better, I ASSURE you! LOL147074147075

Yellow Dog Girl what a great student you are!!! And you are sooo right this is the style of pendant he will be doing the tut on.

[lorleek]

[friskebaer]

[KristiB]

Heck ya!

[Libby L.]

Ok here is the picture that Dustin sent me, however this is just an example. He plans on making the cane work a more complex ribbon cane and more detail in the surface decoration.
He is going to start working on it ASAP.

Here is a link to his website to see more of his work.

[Parrotise]

Yes!!! I bought a Dustin eye for my son and a flower pendant for my daughter. I'd love to have his tutorial! Originally the eye bead was purchased for me, but my son loved it. That was quite a while ago and he still wears it every day!

[Parrotise]

Here is a pic of the eye bead I bought. It's gorgeous!

I was interested when I heard his name!!!!!
Love it all :-)

[Libby L.]

Vicki when you see Dustins work in person aren't you amazed at how precise all the dot placement is!!

I have known Dustin for 10 years now and he was that good from the very beginning.

He is very excited and working hard to get this out ASAP.

[msy439]

Me too,I love his work.

[mad hatter]

For sure it would be one I would buy. He is on the list of classes I would like to take.

[miahawk]

I took a class from Stephanie Sersich and Dustin in October and it was AMAZING. off-mandrel work was way beyond me, but they made it make sense. I loved Dustin's very methodical approach to what seemed unwieldy and impossible to me before.

if Dustin makes a tutorial, I'd probably buy it just because I know what kind of teacher he is, and it would be a continued reference for me. also knowing what kind of teacher he is, I'd recommend it to anyone wanting to get into or improve off-mandrel work because his teaching is full of really practical techniques.

but, given the issues of people passing copies of tuts around, I think I'd rather see him, or both he and Stephanie, do a DVD because actually watching them both juggle pieces from rod to punty, repuntying and otherwise transferring hot glass objects around was life-changing for me.

[midniteburner]

oh...my... =P~=P~=P~

I really think this tutorial needs a much closer inspection :poke: LOL!!!

if I could only stop drooling...

[Kybeadmaker]
