Re: [lace] [Lace] Return to class

There was an article in The Lancet (July 3rd)
https://www.thelancet.com/pdfs/journals/laninf/PIIS1473-3099(20)30561-2.pdf


Talks about how why the danger of surface transmission is less than was
originally thought.

Jane,

Having the teacher wear one pair of gloves and move from pillow to pillow
could theoretically transmit a virus from one student to the next. If the
teacher puts on a new pair of gloves each time she approaches another
pillow it would be fine. Bear in mind that medical professionals advocate
hand washing between pairs and that care must be taken in removing gloves
so that one doesn't touch the outer surface of the glove with the hands.
Properly worn masks are your most important articles.

That ever-popular citation "I read somewhere" that for 
disease prevention gloves are worse than useless, and 
lead to spreading germs around.


On the other hand, a woman who mans a vendor's booth 
said that she wears gloves so that she can wash her 
hands after each customer without washing her skin off.


I do know (i.e. I've read a *lot* of somewheres) that 
hand sanitizer is a stopgap for when you can't wash 
properly.  (But it's better than just wetting your 
hands and wiping them on a dirty towel.)

[lace] Re: Return to class

[Jane Partridge]

This reminds me of a Guiders' training course I attended years ago at Foxlease, 
(in Hampshire UK) we were learning how to teach creative folk dance without 
making the movements ourselves. My thought from this is that you should be able 
to teach mostly without the need to touch their pillows, bobbins, etc, but for 
those who need to see a stitch demonstrated, could you set up a travel pillow 
with a few bobbins that you can take round the table with you, so you show them 
on your pillow, not theirs? Where mistakes are concerned learning to spot a 
mistake and correct it is progress, if need be you can tell them where to go 
back to and what has gone wrong, but don't do the undoing and redoing yourself 
or they will never learn. (I have heard some lacemakers say they always had 
their teacher start pieces off or finish for them so they didn't know how, 
which was the means of the teacher retaining learners because they were 
dependent on him/her!)
