The gasps of excitement when the students first come in to the art room and see clay is priceless. \r\nUsing clay helps to develop fine and gross motor skills, boosts creativity and imagination, enhances sensory experiences and promotes problem-solving and cognitive skills. Each grade level created a different project. After the first firing in the kiln they were able to use glaze, and then the piece was fired again. They were in awe of the finished projects. \r\nThis would not have been possible if it weren't for you!
