My Project

I am posting this for a veteran art teacher with over 25 years of experience. Our art teacher exemplifies what it means to be a compassionate, innovative educator. She creates outside-of-the-box projects that are truly engaging and important to our students as well as is a fan favorite amongst students!

We would love to add clay projects to the art program this year!

These wheels will allow her students to sculpt their projects evenly, see all sides of this 3-dimensional project, and keep their work safe. We are also asking for a starting amount of clay for the students to create with.

These will be used by many students for years to come and help them create beautiful projects they can bring home and be proud of. We love giving our students new ways to create. Clay is uniquely a hands-on art form and gives us a new project discipline option in addition to drawing and painting.

Our school has wonderful art showcases and the students are so happy to share everything they make at these. I know the clay projects will be such a hit with these students!
