Social & Emotionally Connecting With Clay

Funded Feb 5, 2024

Thank you so much for this opportunity to bring wheel throwing to my elementary art room. Getting to use clay outside of hand building techniques have my students such a unique opportunity to enjoy the aesthetics of clay and how fluid it can be in a wheel! I'm hoping this will also increase their love of wheel throwing and continue to take art and pottery classes through high school.

The students were beyond excited to get to try firsthand wheel throwing, and seeing their faces light up as they felt the clay take shape and move with their guidance truly makes teaching art the best job in the world. Thank you for giving this rare experience to my students!!! They will forever remember it!!”

With gratitude,

Mrs. Scarpati
