Some of the parents last week didn’t get the opportunity to try the potter’s wheel. Unbeknown to me they had been observing, very carefully their friends and fellow parents making their pots.

No sooner had we opened for business on Tuesday, a que of eager potter’s waited in turn to practice what they had quietly absorbed from the previous week.

The results were amazing – everybody just knew what to do with very little prompting. 

Some of the parents who’s children were taking a bit longer to settle at nursery, discovered a little peace and solace just from watching the other adults making their pots. Even though they didn’t engage directly with the material, they were still able to lessen their anxiety.
