On a very sunny Tuesday last week a group of parents from Washwood Heath Nursery School visited the pottery. Their mission, to investigate ways of communicating numeracy through working with clay.

The session was booked by the incredibly creative Nursery School ahead of its annual maths week. The visitors made simple 3d shapes, counted clay balls and measured clay coils, all very simple techniques designed to be shared at home with their children.

There was also an hour or so after lunch for everybody to take turns on five potter’s wheels. Great way to round up a brilliant clay session.
