Creating in Clay

Help me give my students an opportunity to create using air dry clay and clay tools.

My Students

Our students are so talented and creative, yet due to budget restraints, it is so difficult to purchase items that will enhance our art lessons. My students would love to create using clay, but we do not have a kiln.

My students are from a small, rural, low income/high poverty school district in South Carolina.

My students face many different challenges, at home and at school. I would love for our students to have just the basic supplies, which we need so desperately. I want my students to be excited about art and look forward to art class and have the supplies they need to create.

My Project

My students have never had an opportunity to work in clay. I would love for each of them to have a chance to create at least one design in air dry clay. We do not have a kiln that works at our school, so air dry clay will be a great alternative for my students.

My students have asked if they can have clay as the majority have never ever had clay to create with.

Your donations will provide the clay and the tools for my students to create original designs that they will be able to cherish for many years.
