My Project

The brushes, tape, and Sharpies will allow students to create unique surface designs on their clay projects from sculptures to teapots and more! My goal if for my students to have the materials they need to create the designs that resonate with their personal identities. We use brushes everyday to brush on underglazes.

My ceramic 1-4 students create unique designs on each of their eight projects throughout the year.

Having a selection of resources to use allows for variety and choice. My students love to explore and use all the materials in our classroom.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
