If you could learn any skill or pick up any new hobby...

[Ottersmash]

What would you choose? Imagine that things like time, money, location, etc, aren't an issue.

Blown glass!

It's something for my future, maybe. It seems like the kind of thing that would require training, and it would definitely need a workshop of some kind and costs covered

But oh man, does that look fun and is some of the art beautiful.

[Vee Katame: His Wolfy]

I have a few:
Professional sewing (I mean, being able to make anything that you need a sewing machine for: stuffed animals, clothes, blankets, etc.).
Jewelry-making (already do some, but I would like for it to be a stay-at-home job for me).
Sculpting (it's pretty cool).
Woodworking (mainly making carvings and the like).
Blown glass (always thought it was amazing).

There's probably more but I can't think of them at the moment.

Edit: Learn to play the guitar and the piano.

Glass blowing is pretty awesome. I visited the largest glass producer in the land and they make anything from drinking glasses and bowls to 5 feet tall art vases and little figurines. I even got to make my own drinking glass. Becoming a glass blower takes 3 years of schooling here so I assume it's the same for you.

So maybe I'd take up glass blowing. Or perhaps the piano or violin.. or cello. Because they're all time consuming and hard to learn but worth it in the end. Something musical would have been great. Drums? I like drums too.

I'd love to have more training in drawing, painting, writing, gaming, knitting or photography, but those are hobbies I already have, though don't have the money and/or time to do them very often.

I'm pretty useless at any musical instruments but I would like to be able to play the Ukulele or the Bagpipes.
Chainsaw carving would be a cool skill to have as well. My furniture would be awesome!

Eagle Chainsaw Carving

When I think about it I wish I could draw as well.

[Jay-Hyena]

Black magic. Awesome skill.

[Rasui]

Professional sewing (I mean, being able to make anything that you need a sewing machine for: stuffed animals, clothes, blankets, etc.).

Just FYI I actually do most of my sewing by hand, without a machine.   Hand and machine sewing both have their strengths and weaknesses, but for most things I much prefer doing it by hand. 

I would like to learn to knit or crochet someday, which I probably will, but I dunno when, I have no free time!  I also want to go back to weaving, but I'd have to get a loom and they are expensive and take up a ton of space. 

Metalworking, glassworking, leatherworking, those all interest me too.  Really I'm interested in most arts, crafts, and hand-making skills.  But there are so many to learn and only so many hours in the day!

Learn how to play the drum set, and writing my own music. Oh, and playing the oboe.


And learing foreign languages. Preferably, Japanese, Latin, or German.


And blown glass! I clicked on the video Ottersmash posted, and that stuff looks amazing!

[Vee Katame: His Wolfy]

Yeah, I'm interested in learning most craft-type things. I have a "Learn to Knit" kit that I got for Christmas, so I'm stepping in the right direction for that one.

The main thing I like about using a sewing machine is that it's faster, but that won't help me until I get brave enough to learn how to use one. The one I have (which is an older one) seems really complicated.


Oh yeah! The skill of speaking Chinese so I can know what the heck Shinzuu's family is talking about when they're in a family setting with people who can only speak Chinese (like his grandparents).

[TechRoo]

I would love to learn how to play the piano. I'm not that good with instruments, the only thing i can play is a bit of guitar.

Another thing i would like is even better cooking skills since i allways injoy cooking.

[SoulFox]

There are sooooo many things i would love to learn how to do    so a few..:


how to build/assemble firearms
how to hack computers and how to make programs
how to survival the wild for a couple days with little gear
how to disconnect my mind from my body to view things in a whole new perspective!
to become a better drawer :p
and to become more self-confident when im dating someone.. thats my most nerve wrecking flaw

thats it for now, i can't think of anymore at the second

[pawz9]

Either metalworking or custom gun paintjobs

[Rasui]

I would like to learn Welding and metalworking
 

[WingedZephyr]

Playing guitar, learning several languages, and kickboxing.

[Rasui]

Sweet what languages are you trying to learn?
