My Project

Our students are absolutely THRIVING in this very rare elementary school ceramics program! We are so lucky to have a working kiln!

Our students are learning more and more with each project, and their ideas and imaginations and skill levels are expanding like crazy!

They can't wait to get their hands dirty again. It's time for us to get some more clay and glaze, and continue bringing their ideas to life!

They are thrilled to bring home their pieces and use them to eat and drink from, give them as gifts, and share their hard work with their friends and family.
