New Cutting Mats For Art Class

Help me give my students new cutting mats for their art and theater projects!

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Shuler's classroom raised $250

This project is fully funded

My Project

With your donation you'll be giving Henry Clay art and theater students the ability to safely create projects that involve Exacto knives and other cutting tools. By having cutting mats like the ones we are needings, students will be able to safely cut on top of the art tables without damaging them which will help keep the tables free of cuts as well as save the cutting blades from becoming dull faster.

The art and theater students deserve the opportunity to use materials that help facilitate a greater ability to create the projects they would like to create without having to damage their blades, the tables, or hurt themselves because they are having to cut on slick items like the tables.
