Yet another ceramics classmate, Ari, called in their favor for studio instruction. They had never used the studio’s clay extruder, and I was happy to show how it worked. They’re making some chains, and thought that extruding some tubes and slicing them up would expedite that process.
A simple favor, in this instance, but it’s more in line with what I’m shooting for. Getting people over the hump, injecting that activation energy into a project so it’s self-sustaining. Teaching skills is one of the great ways of doing that, I think. That whole teach a man to fish deal.
