My Project

In the art room, students are always getting creative and thinking outside the box. One of our introduction lessons in pottery is creating slabs, which are flat pieces of clay students can manipulate into ornaments, coasters, trays or even magnets. Having access to yarn would allows us to push the boundaries of slabs and create mobiles that display their slabs. This projects aims to supply students choice in color and material to use on their ceramic mobile projects.

Donations to this projects will help provide students with various colored yarns to use on many projects in our classroom!
