Awesome write-up in the latest issue of Time Out NY about the sweet folks over at Brooklyn Brainery who are offering classes at BKSS’s old digs The Gowanus Studio Space!
Brooklyn Brainery hosts cheap ($25!) collaborative classes on anything and everything. What’s that mean? Think book clubs on steroids.
Brainery classes don’t have real teachers. Class leaders know a bit about the topic, but they’re mostly just there to keep things on track and guide the learning process.
Check them out!

HAPPY 2010 BROOKLYN!!
HUGE thanks to Only The Blog Knows Brooklyn for including the BK Skillshare in the 2009 Park Slope 100 (along with the likes of Brooklyn Based, Brokelyn, The Brooklyn Brewery, and even Jonathan Ames)! We are extremely honored to be recognized and continue to get the word out about the Skillshare and what we hope to accomplish and inspire in the community.
Stay tuned as we start the preliminary planning of BKSS 2010!

Another great idea from the guys at Grand Opening:
By Day: A Shop
Drop in to barter with artists, designers, and craftspeople on a range of products and services. Peruse the trading board for things you want, and leave a contact card for things you have to offer. Skilled staff will help you make connections.By Night: A School
Take a class with a range of specialized teachers in exchange for basic items and services. Secure a spot in a Trade School class by meeting one of the teacher’s barter needs. For example, grant writer Caroline Woolard is looking for local produce from the farmers market. Agree to bring her a dozen crisp apples, and you’re in!A different format from, but as cool as, Meg’s completely free Brooklyn Skill Share.
