Creativity and Critical Thinking Through Ceramic Art

Funded Jan 18, 2019

Thank you for your generous donation. The addition of a slab roller has enhanced students understanding of ceramic hand building construction. Students have been successful in making ceramic artwork using the slab method and have been utilizing time spent in the ceramic room in understanding how to build their objects. Whether constructing a slab cup, box or using a slump mold, students are able to work with compressed clay slabs and are not struggling to roll out the clay within our limited time frame.

Your donation, which made it possible to add a slab roller to our ceramic classroom, not only aided in student's success using clay but also enabled students to be more creative. My students explored the characteristics of clay using various methods gaining more confidence with each project.

The ceramic students and I are very thankful that our project was funded, as the slab roller has given the opportunity to explore ceramic art with more meaning and understanding. Thank you again for your generous donation and supporting the arts.”

With gratitude,
