My Project

As an art department we are expanding the ceramics experience all the way down to the early elementary! Unfortunately clay and ceramic materials are expensive so we are asking for help for every grade to have a ceramics unit each year.

With your help every student in grades Kindergarten through 8th grade will have the experience with ceramics and a lasting work of art!

Glazes will allow us to create works that will be water and food safe! Glazed ceramics increase the longevity of the art. The tools will help us create high quality ceramics like REAL artists!
