Three years ago I discovered the school had a ceramic kiln that had never been used. That year I worked with the city and building administration to upgrade it and bring it to code. For the past two years we have made sure to complete a clay project with every single student. Today I want to expand the kiln's capabilities and expose our middle school students to creating fused glass pendants. The money raised will go towards essential supplies to create the glass pendants. I will be working with 8th grade students to create these body adorning works of art. I want to make sure that whatever we have as tools, students are able to use them to their full potential. This project will help expand their creative thinking skills, expose them to the art of jewelry making, and each pendant will become something beautiful they can wear.
