Baumgartner Restoration - Guy restores and conserves paintings for a living. Besides being so satisfying, I've learned so much about how paintings are constructed in general as an artist. I will never use staples instead of tacks on a canvas ever again.

English Heritage - The Youtube channel of the foundation which works to preserve historical sites in the UK. Their 'Victorian Way' cooking series is THE BEST.

The British Museum - An excellent channel. Naturally, their topics can be a bit all over the place, but they are always really well done. I particularly enjoy the conversation videos because it's not taught in my ancient history studies. P.S. The videos with Assyriologist Irving Finkel are just the most exciting and hilarious videos ever. I wish he were my professor.

我们的小喜 XiaoXi's Culinary Idyll - Don't let the name fool you. While he started with cooking videos, Xiao Xi is a craftsman who does some delightful work ranging from woven baskets to hammered copper teapots.

Shi Heng Yi Online - I did gong fu and qi gong for many years before I moved, and while my lineage was not Shaolin-based, I find these FREE videos inspiring. There can be so much woo surrounding martial arts and energy work in general, and it's very rare to find someone who can speak about the theory and techniques in such a beautiful, succinct and calming way.
