My Project

My High School students are having fun and working hard in the pottery room! They are doing hand-building slab projects include pinch pot creatures, cups, vases, tiles, and sculptures. They are also using electric wheels to throw cups, bowls, and tea pots! We could really use support funding these projects! Pottery teaches problem-solving, crtitical thinking, responsibility, and persistance. Students also have opportunities to submit work to shows and scholarship opportunities.

This amount of clay will support one year's of work.

Students love coming to class every day and look forward to bringing their projects to completion. Thank you so much!
