My Project
Currently in our elementary classroom there is not proficient space for students to make a sculptural project of any size. These metal storage shelves are a great movable solution that could be added to our classroom and then tucked away into our kiln space for drying and glazing projects . My students love clay and have expressed wanting to do paper mache sculptures, however we simply just don't have shelving that could fit all their projects . This roll shelving is the perfect solution!
This donation of metal heavyweight capacity portable shelving will provide my students adequate space for drying their clay projects and storing them in between working classes without fear of damage .
I know my students will be greatly appreciative of being able to create paper mache masks, sculptures of various heights, and larger clay projects with the help of this donation to our classroom. My classroom currently does not have adequate shelving or a drying area to create larger projects that are 3D. Currently we only make a lot of 2D Art due to this storage / space issue. These shelves are a great way to fix the issue and allow lots of airflow to the projects due to the metal shelving racks. This will allow our projects to dry faster in between classes.
Thank you for your generosity and we are extremely grateful if you were able to donate to our cause and helping our classroom obtain these metal moving shelves.
