Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Our school is getting a kiln! As our school undergoes renovations, a kiln room is being added to the art room. Working with clay is my absolute favorite thing to do and I can't wait to share the joy of pottery with my students. In addition to the kiln room, we will also have six Brent pottery wheels and a large slab roller. Our students will get their hands dirty and learn new skills that they'll remember for life. We will make functional work like bowls and cups on the wheels and will also learn hand-building techniques to use for sculptural works.

Once the students have the supplies and tools needed, nothing will be able to hold them back!

I can't wait to see what they'll create and I thank you for the way that you're investing in my students!
