Formal education is a great thing, but never miss an opportunity to talk to people that have mastered skills.
These people, even the claimed self taught, have drawn on the experience of those that have gone before, and refined techniques through trial and error. That way you start with a proven method that you know will work, then using that as your starting point, can innovate through your own trial and error to further refine your technique.
For example, Griff attended the Post & Beam building classes, but I'll bet he discovered a hell of a lot, through his own experience of actually building Grifftopia.
Of course, never pass up an opportunity to pass your skills along, but while doing that try to impress on the receiver, the importance of expanding on your gift.
heh, heh, heh, spellcheck wanted to change Grifftopia to Graffiti.
