This is a fair metalsmithing title that covers Granulation and Gold overlay. Harold makes what appears to be very organic forms of jewelry that are different than my own style but I did learn from his techniques. His teaching style could use some polish and would likely benefit from using more of a script as he is searching a bit more for words than I expect he would be in a classroom setting. The camera angles are fair but could have been better. Overall this doesn't have the detail similar titles have however it was a decent presentation and I did learn from his techniques.
