#23Florian Gadsby is a ceramicist posting videos that show how pottery is thrown, finished and finally glazed and kiln fired. The videos show the processes behind his work, from the throwing to trimming of tableware and more sculptural pieces. He has a playlist dedicated to teaching basic technics, great for beginners.

#25I’ll throw a request in here for channels that cover IT fundamentals a la Eli the Computer Guy back in the day. Especially if they cover more modern topics.
It’s hard to sort out the good teachers from the wannabe influencers. I also don’t mind hearing suggestions for video stuff outside of youtube.

#26Not a technical skill, but in the self improvement genre - Colin Murray’s channel https://m.youtube.com/@colinmurrayYT/videos is great for people who like exercising from home, without investing a lot in equipments and weight. Has helped me exercise more regularly compared to past years.
And then for one of my hobbies https://m.youtube.com/@idaemonplasmo for building better model kit aircrafts.
Not sure if they are masters of their craft, but they make their craft more accessible/enjoyable for me.
