Early Start
The barn in which we live is foremost a pottery studio and shop owned and operated by Robbi's parents. One of the nice things about this setup is that they get to see Alden all the time. She probably thinks she has four parents. More often than not, when Robbi and I are passing through the downstairs on our way in or out from an errand, Bob and Seiko will step aside from their industry for a few minutes to spend some time with A-Chan.
Seiko is one of the preeminent potters of Ikebana (Japanese traditional flower arranging) containers in the country. In spite of this, Robbi has never shown an inclination for working with clay. We are wondering if the spark of potter's genius might be of the sort that skips a generation.
Early evidence suggests the child might have an interest.
