My Project

Your donation will be used in our high school ceramics room. Ceramics is a popular class, and students go through many glazes every semester. They love having a variety of colors to choose from. The green, purple and white are some of our most popular colors. The serrated rib tools will be used for slipping and scoring. We currently have two of these tools, and students always try to get to it first. It would be really convenient to have more rib tools for our large coil project. Students also love to carve into their clay projects. I have found that the little kemp wire tool is one of the best tools for carving, and we could use it more in the classroom so that students do not have to wait so long for others to finish using it. Thank you so much for contributing to our classroom!
