Sewing Lab Expedition
Funded Jun 12, 2021Thank you so much for your gift of sewing! Our Crossroads students have thoroughly enjoyed the process of sewing and learning functional making skills. They can now take these skills out into the world and be empowered by them.
When the students first found out about this donation they were thrilled. They found the books very helpful and we were able to make pillows, purses, and mend socks.
Thank you again for this gracious gift. We look forward to taking this project to the next step and having a fabulous fashion show!”
With gratitude,
Ms. Swan

Funded Mar 17, 2021We are deeply grateful for your support of the Sumi-Ink Unit. It has brought so much peace and exploration to the classroom and the students have had the opportunity to explore outside cultures and art-making techniques.
In these turbulent times, art-making is providing students with an outlet for joy and self-expression. Most of my students are already into Anime and fascinated with Japanese culture, so when they first learned of this unit, they were very enthusiastic. Many students had never even heard of Sumi-Ink painting and did not know that they could actually make their own inks. The ink grinding process allowed students to slow down, be patient, and find inspiration in nature. They also were able to embody and appreciate a culture outside of their own.”

The sketchbook that was provided is really nice because it isn't just straight white, it's more of a yellow tint. I also put some stickers that I had on my sketchbook. The entire kit itself is very good and helpful and I'm glad I got it"
