Ceramics Class Needs Your Help!

My students need clay for ceramic projects.

Hooray! This project is fully funded

My Students

My students have to use recycled clay and we are getting low on the supplies.

My students are able to use the clay in a multitude of projects.

From pendants to wheel thrown pottery, my student love hands on activities. Students work at different levels of experience with clay, but enjoy the process with new clay that doesn't have to be reclaimed. Once used the clay can be recycled before firing.

My Project

We need clay for ceramic projects, so students will be using the air dry clay while we are displaced due to renovation. They will be able to seal the clay with paint we already have to finalize the image. After we get the kiln room back the students will be able to produce many low-fire projects throughout next few years.

If this project is funded hundreds of students will be able to have hands on experience with clay.

They will create projects that could also last lifetimes! Please help fund their dreams.
