My Project

I am so excited to enhance the creative journey of young minds through the addition of pottery wheels for our ceramics class. Pottery wheels represent not only tools of craft, but access to limitless imagination and self-expression. In our ceramics program, we strive to nurture the artistic potential of our students, fostering a deep appreciation for the beauty of clay and the endless power of creation. The benefits of pottery wheels extend far beyond the act of shaping clay. Through the rhythmic motion of wheel-throwing, students learn patience, perseverance, and precision. They discover the joy of experimentation and the satisfaction of seeing their ideas take shape in three-dimensional form. Pottery wheels also create a sense of community and collaboration within the classroom. Students learn from each other, sharing techniques, offering encouragement, and celebrating one another's success. This collaborative spirit encourages a supportive learning environment where creativity flourishes and friendships are formed. Receiving these pottery wheels will not only allow for enrichment of our ceramics program, but also inspire students to dream, create, and flourish in their artistic abilities.

Mrs. Jensen will only receive her materials if this project is fully funded by August 11.
