Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Hello again! This project here will fund the materials needed to create stable skeleton structures inside of the polymer clay figurines posted in my first project which was fully funded. The wires will be what gives the figures their form, and the foil will be what our students will use to give volume to their figurine sculptures. They will start out by creating something similar to a stick figure using the gauge wire and twisting it together. Then, once done with the size and shape of the "skeleton", they will work on the "muscles"using the foil. The conditioner will ensure students can get the smooth surface quality many of them look for in their work, and the tools will help them in perfecting those small details.

Based on the shipping estimate from the first project, we are hoping to be able to work on this in April :)
