Hi All,
Well that's it, I have finished my six week workshop at Great Hockham Primary School.
It has been a great introduction to teaching cob and it's uses to young children.
This is in part due to the children being so keen and attentive, but mostly due to the enthusiasm and drive of the wonderful people responsible for bringing me into the school in the first place.
So a big thank you to Rachael Garrod and Bev Page, for tirelessly corralling children and preparing endless cups of juice and tea.
In this last lesson the children were given a big pile of sticky cob, and allowed to mould it into all manner of hideous and creative shapes from cats to caterpillars as well as gargoyles and roadkill!
This workshop has proved that it is possible to detach even the most earnest gamer from their console, and engage them in a building material that is as old as the hills.
I hope that this success can carry on into the coming years as Cob-It spreads the word of Cob.
Stay tuned for further updates as I am attending a Collaborative Leadership course at West Lexham Manor this weekend.
Check out the West Lexham website to get a better idea of where it is I will be spending the next few days.

See you all soon and
keep on cobbing.
