PITH 2016!!!!!!
Posted: Tue Dec 22, 2015 11:17 pm
DEADLINE IS AUGUST 7TH
Alrighty, so it's that time of the year again! Time to start talking about PITH 2016. Here are the rules for the less experienced people, or those who have not been around that long. The pipe in the hat(PITH) trade is something we do here about once a year. We choose a shape that participants have to make, and set a deadline. Once the deadline hits, we randomly generate a list of all participants, and you send your pipe to the person below you on the list. You receive the pipe from the person above you. Upon receiving your pipe, you inspect it, smoke it, and give an honest and thorough critique back to the maker. The pipe is yours to keep.
The pipe in the hat trade is designed as a tool to help you grow in your pipe making skills. It can certainly be intimidating to jump into something like this with all these more experienced people participating, but getting the type of feedback that comes with putting your pipe in the hands of someone else is much more beneficial than posting pictures. Plus you get a pipe out of it. Some of the shape requirements might seem like a big challenge, but the PITH is designed to force you out of your comfort zone and to help you get some experience in the art of pipe making. The idea here is that the best way to grow is by challenging yourself. This is a great way to get some good practice and helpful feedback.
So first things first, lets throw some ideas around about what shape we will do this year. Feel free to offer some ideas and let's get this thing rolling! If you want to participate, just post "I'm in" or something to that effect. And with that, I'll officially declare my participation. I'm in!
