"Hi I'm Betty Ingham and the business that my husband and I represent in our owners loft is called The Hairy Potters. And I'm speaking Expert Village is have a clay party. Give them a piece of clay and tell them to make a ball and then if they want to try to make a pinched pot what they do is stick there thumbs in it and then they slowly push it around. And this is the same kind of principal as of a wheel and make sure they work from the bottom up most of them want to start at the top and work down. And you have to work from the bottom up and just keep pushing it out and smoothing up. And then it will just evolve into something that will either be a bowl, sometimes I've seen children start with this and make little eggs for a birds nest, or put a handle on it for a basket. Children are very, very creative."
