Clay Tools & School Wide Art Show Supplies

Help me give my students the tools needed for clay projects, and to display their favorite artworks for our school wide art show! Trays will also keep our messier projects in a more manageable space for cleanup.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. O.'s classroom raised $253

My Project

My goal for this project is in two parts: to have the tools necessary for all of my students to utilize our new kiln and the clay that will go in it, and to acquire the materials to properly set up for our school wide art show where every student will pick their favorite artwork from the year and put it on display for their families during our School Wide Arts & Music Show.

Specifically, I'm asking for chicken wire to maximize art hanging space for our school wide art show.

I'm also asking for silicone style mats to make clean up easier with clay. The bags are also a need to keep clay wet for students to continue working on their masterpieces over the course of a couple of weeks.

I'm also ordering general lunch tray for messier projects. For instance, I would love to have my BRIDGE students try a marble and shaving cream project that I can't do without trays. These could also easily be used for clay projects to make clean up easier.

Lastly, I'm asking for push pins and laundry clips to hang all student work for our art show. I am currently, sadly, already out.
