Help me give my students amazing ceramics projects! We have lots of clay but we need glaze, brushes, and tools to fully utilize it.

My Project

The AHS Visual Arts Department is growing! We serve over 700 students and those students all love to use clay. Fortunately, we have lots of clay but to really use this medium to its full potential we need glaze and tools. Glaze adds beautiful, glossy color to ceramics that lets them come alive and make functional projects, like cups and bowls, safe to eat from. We are asking for glaze in mixable colors that will make the ceramic projects we make look amazing. We also need brushes to apply the glaze with and needle tools for fine detail work. These materials will go on a movable cart that will travel between our three classrooms. Each of our over 700 visual arts students will benefit from these materials during the current school year and for years to come, impacting our ceramics program both now and in the future.
