Yaffa Sikorsky-Todd (YST): And that’s why so many people took his class, by the way.

Barb Elam (BE): Mm-hmm.

YST: Because we went, ‘Paul’s teaching a class. We gotta see how he does that stuff.’

BE: Yeah, right. Mm-hmm.

YST: ‘How does he get those things without the air bubbles, how does he, he plops it down, how does he do it?’

BE: Right. Yeah.YST: And you know, it was pretty neat that, how open he was, and he showed people how to do it and what happens is people start trying to copy you, but they never do it like you do it. And you’re moving on, anyway. But that was, for the whole paperweight thing, that was very amazing to have him open himself up and show people what he did and how he did it.
