Our Creative Cup Spilleth Over

Help me give my students The replenishments they are craving to finish the year strong. Glaze to work with clay, brushes to finish paintings, and pins to display our beautiful work.

My Project

When the schoolyear started I was expecting to have roughly 60 sculpture students, and so I ordered supplies for roughly 60 sculpture students. However, there are 90 students in sculpture class! Ninety students who have been working hard to make some really great three dimensional works. We have been extremely creative this year with project storage, and workspace, but we are running out of supplies and it's only March!

Please help my students finish the year strong by replenishing some of our most used Art supplies.

There are many beautifully crafted clay pieces that need glaze, a permanent installation of small 10 x 10 wood panels (but not enough for everyone), our paintbrushes are old and crusty, and we have used every single push pin to hang up our paper mache masks.

All supplies in my project will be used to replenish, refill, and reenergize our students to finish the year strong and proud.
