A Catalogue Of Sustainable Achievements
The lovely cats at After Ed TV made this delightful little video doc about Meg Wachter’s insanely successful Brooklyn Skillshare. The very same Brooklyn Skillshare where SuperForester Jackie and I taught upcycling glass bottles into cups and vases.
Skillshare ruled. I wonder if I can coax Meg out to the West Coast to throw one here? Psssssst, Meg!
Thanks to the swell folks at After Ed TV!
Goooood Morning Lovely SuperForest!
I hope this finds everybody well this fine day, October 26th…
On the 10th of October, SuperForester Jackie and myself taught a class on upcycling for Meg Wachter’s amazing Brooklyn Skillshare.
Jackie and I showed an amazingly friendly (I hadn’t yet had any coffee) group of people how to safely and easily turn glass bottles into cup, bowls, and vases, lovingly handmade and gorgeous to the eyes.
I will post a video on how to do it in the comfort of your own home very soon.
SuperForester Mark was on hand and sent me these lovely photos:

The class went really well. At one point in time, I had everyone raise their hands and repeat: “I, state your name, understand that there is treasure everywhere. And I promise to find it.” Like sixty plus people all did it. It was grand.
Cheers to SuperForester Mark for sending in the photos, to Meg Wachter for throwing the event, and of course, to the incredible SuperForester Jackie for teaching the class with me.

Tomorrow! Sat AM, Come one Come All!
All of this wonderful skillsharing thanks to the antigravity powers of “Miraculous” Meg Wachter
Goooooo Meg! Sooooo Awersome!
Mark your calendars, East Coast Superforesters, for this will be rad!
Spearheaded by the incredible Meg Wachter, Brooklyn Skillshare is a great big meet-up learning opportunity. A huge range of skills will be shared. From DIY electronics, to kombucha making. I myself will be teaching a class on turning glass bottles into vases, glasses, and bowls! Fun times.
And I’m going to sit down with Meg on Monday night for an interview. Check back often!
October 10th in Brooklyn, NY. See you there.
Meg Wachter is a Brooklyn based photographer and friend of mine. (If you’ll recall she took the great photos of the 4fives trip to the High Line.)
Besides taking excellent pictures like the one above, she’s also heading up the Brooklyn Skillshare. Skillshare is just what is sounds like: people getting together to share their skills. Meg will be teaching kombucha making! October 10th!
Here’s the Brooklyn Skillshare blog.
Check out more of Meg’s work. She is awesome.
