My Project

My students are amazing. They are always willing to try new activities. I have found that particular activities have been extremely helpful for my students who are struggling emotionally.

Making pottery has changed my life, and I want to share that with our kids.

I have all the resources available to create pottery projects, except a kiln. Your donation will allow us to create finished projects that can provide a lasting impression, and needed therapy for our kids. Imagine a student who gets in trouble in class, and instead of going to the VP, they come with me and start a pottery project. That is my vision.
