Pottery Possibilities!

Help me give my students the supplies they need for a ceramics class in school. Laguna Speckled Buff Clay, Speedball Underglazes, and quality brushes are expensive, yet our students are worth it!

FULLY FUNDED! Teacher Walker's classroom raised $603

My Project

My students love to express themselves through art. Many people do not get to experience the magic of working with real clay that fires in a real kiln until they are in high school. We are studying Medieval Ages in history, and being able to recreate their own versions of pottery found all over the world is an enriching experience that can't be matched via another medium. Pottery clay and glaze has gotten very expensive, and this project will be an integral part of their art and history integration in their education.

Thank you for your support in bringing the arts experience to my middle school classroom.
