Clay Throwdown: Pottery Wheel in Action

Help me give my students a pottery wheel for sculpting unique ceramic artworks.

My Students

Most of my students come from families struggling to overcome poverty. More than 75% of these students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. These children are eager to learn, experience new problem-solving strategies, and explore their talents.

I want to offer my students an opportunity to be creative, learn a new medium, and produce ceramic artworks.

My students need a pottery wheel to work with clay and create ceramic artworks for firing in the kiln. I would appreciate your help in making this ceramics project a reality.

My Project

Please help my students obtain the supplies they need to create clay artworks that they can treasure for a lifetime. We need a pottery wheel for our kiln room so that students can participate in ceramics experiences that they would otherwise have no chance to explore. We have no pottery wheel in our school.

Art is an outlet for creativity, which also improves problem-solving abilities, social skills, and outside-the-box thinking strategies.

Without your generosity, we may not be able to offer such valuable learning experiences to our children. Your investment in our future generation will foster an appreciation for the arts and enhance important life skills that will aid these children into adulthood.
