My Project

With your support, I know my students will have a wonderful clay unit and be able to create amazing and beautiful clay projects. It is an important part of the art curriculum and one of the projects children look forward to the most.

Clay is one of my student's favorite project of the year.

I would love to be able to provide high quality materials for them to successfully make their clay projects. My students will be able to create unique and beautiful works of art with the supplies I am working towards.
