For the past three days, Toby and I have been doing a clay "summer school", lesson number 1: coil pots. When I booked the sessions several months ago, it was because of Toby's interest in all things "to make", but all of a sudden, here we were, exploring the ways in which pots have been made all over the world, for thousands of years.
I have to admit that everything we made had to have some sort of fossil either pressed into the clay or attached to it - you may realise from reading the letters that he writes that he is just a teeny tiny bit "into fossils".
In other news, three new channels of contacts have opened up, each a rich seam full of lovely people willing to help! At the end of last week, I thought we'd run out of addresses, suddenly, we had a veritable rush on contacts - thank you!! Toby does get excited about every single one of them.
