Sharing what we know

As educators and learners, we depend on the generosity of others to help us master new skills and knowledge.

One of my favorite blogs, Make and Meaning, is hosting a live blogging event at 8pm tomorrow (Tuesday) evening, on this topic.

Of course, the live discussion will be centered mostly on the crafting community, since that's who Make and Meaning serves. But I think the discussion is applicable--and interesting--to those of us whose primary art & work is in other fields, as well.

Here's how one of the contributors, Diane Gilleland, describes the event: "Free Thinking" is "an interactive liveblogging discussion of how Free is affecting our creative culture".

Interested? Here's the link for more information:
