@swachter@toot.boston this is very much how things go down at my Hackspace. Want to learn a thing? Ask around and a few people might want to also learn together. I very much approve of this approach.

@swachter@toot.boston I had to look up _what_ a pottery slab roller _IS_, but now I know. Next time I hang out with my professional potter friend, I can casually ask "So, I know you have like 3 different kilns, but how many slab rollers do you have?" and he will be impressed. Actually he'll be "ok what have you been reading on the internet _NOW_?" but he's cool. He makes me ceramics and artisinal bread with fancy grains and I fix his computer.

@swachter@toot.boston Oooo, I loved the slab roller! I also loved showing my classmates how to make my 'balloon pots' even if they decided they didn't really want to go through the process after showing them. (Simple process. Slightly tedious, and is easier if you can manage to hold an upside-down, slowly drying pot being formed on a balloon. And can work on other clay with one hand, or you can't *do* much until it's dry enough. Which is a problem with limited class time) Journey of Discovery!!

@swachter@toot.boston This approach got me on a bus from Atlanta to Minneapolis once...https://gahistoricnewspapers.galileo.usg.edu/lccn/sn94029049/2013-07-31/ed-1/seq-8/#words=Megabus+Megabus%27s+Megabus%E2%80%99s

@swachter@toot.boston I want to know how to use the slab roller upstairs. I want to walk into a class and talk to several people.

@swachter@toot.boston Oh, we need the hashtag for this, so everybody can post about our Journeys of Discovery for each other! My current one is battling to learn my way around a whole new computer system. But if I rename this process, from "exhausting battle" to "Journey of Discovery", the whole mood changes. #JourneyOfDiscovery

@swachter@toot.boston I bet you’re fun at parties. And I don’t mean that sarcastically. You sound like a great person to be around.

@swachter@toot.boston As a brand new member of a Maker Space who has fallen in love with everything about it, I find this story resonates deeply within my soul. I signed up for a 3D Printing class in mid-December, and I herewith pledge to use the phrase JOURNEY OF DISCOVERY at some opportune moment during that class.

@swachter@toot.boston ah, love a slab roller! our studio just got one and... okay honestly it isn't very exciting, it's just that you no longer need to do the very tedious job of rolling a slab out with batons and a pin.
