My Students

We have the best student body in the state. They come from a small town, small community atmosphere where everyone knows everyone. This allows us to be more personable and caring with everyone here. Our student population consists of over 50% receiving free or reduced-price lunch. Our students exceed expectations.

Our students are raised with core beliefs that enable them to be important people in our society.

Many people across the country talk about Midwest core values. The students here exemplify this.

My Project

My students have used their hands for years to make coils. I have tried to use other methods to make coils for kids to use but all were time-consuming and difficult.

Having a tool like this would help a wide variety of students create great projects and have amazing outcomes with their clay projects.

This is definitely a must-have item for any clay studios. I have used one in the past and didn't realize how good I had it until now. I only wish I had asked for one years ago so more students could have experienced the joys of this great tool.
