From Design and Fabrication by Benham Design Concepts

About this episode
The episode focuses on the importance of experimenting with new techniques and mediums in art through a project of building a pendant lamp.
Today's project is more than just building a pendant lamp. I really believe that to continue growing as an artist, you have to always be experimenting, trying new techniques, and working in new mediums.
