Ceramics Studio Support

Help me give my students new tools to work with! We are currently using many broken tools or taped together tools that are barely holding on. This causes students to struggle while working.

My Project

I am requesting new tools for my High School Ceramics Studio because we are currently using mostly broken tools. We have needed to tape together many tools and brushes and some have been unrepairable and unusable. These tools and brushes would restock my studio so my students can enjoy working with them and not needing to constantly repair the old tools over and over again.

My students are incredible and always eager to learn in the Clay Space but we need the proper tools for safe work.

I serve all students in the Clay Space 9th-12th, all languages, all ability levels, and all sorts of artistic levels. It is my passion to make clay accessible to ALL students no matter their story. In order to keep our program thriving, we need clay and tools.

I have been teaching for 9 years and have created the Clay Space with the mission to Create Love Around Youth- C.L.A.Y- and that is exactly what I do day in and day out. Clay is therapeutic by nature and keeping this generation engaged with their hands helps their mental health and overall well-being. If you chose to support this project, you are supporting a generation of learners and artists in creativity, regulation, and a very special experience they will never forget! Thank you for considering!
