The other day, I was asked about doing an interview for a fellow lampworker's blog. Of course I am always delighted to do that. (Love the interviews. They're fun!) But one of the things she asked me is whether I was willing to reveal some tip that I haven't told someone before.
Being the kind of person who loves "sharing", I had to think about it at length. Not whether or not I'd do it, but what tip haven't I told someone before?
So today's question is...do you hold some details back when people ask you questions? Or do you answer just the question? And most importantly, do you have a lampworking or jewelry making tip that you wouldn't mind sharing? We always love hearing them.
I am not yet good enough at lampwork to have any tips worth sharing (though I hope to be always improving)- but in my other world (ENT Surgery)I am a seasoned clinician and educator- and I strongly believe that sharing all details of technique adds to the quality of the field as a whole and certainly makes me no less. If I figure out a fabulous surgical technique that many could benefit from, they won't all be flocking to my part of the country, so I might as well be sure docs in other parts of the country have the option of using it for their patients.
