My Project

I am reaching out to share an exciting opportunity to enhance our high school arts program. As you know, the arts play a vital role in providing students with a creative outlet, building their confidence, and fostering a sense of community and personal expression. To support this growth and creativity, we’re aiming to install a kiln ventilation system to make our ceramics studio safer and more efficient for our talented young artists.

Currently our kiln setup lacks a vent system, which means we face limited options when it comes to firing our students’ work.

Installing a vent would not only protect the health of our students and staff by removing fumes and heat but also allow our students to explore more diverse and advanced ceramic techniques safely. This addition would mean that students could work with a broader range of glazes and clays, enabling them to expand their skills and creativity. We believe that with your support, we can make this improvement to our art studio and provide an even more enriching experience for our students.

If you feel inspired to support this effort, please consider making a donation. No contribution is too small, and every bit will help us create a safer, more dynamic learning environment.

Thank you for considering this opportunity to support our school and its students. Together, we can continue to cultivate a space where our young artists feel safe, inspired, and empowered to express themselves.
