My Project

I teach Ceramics to approximately 130 high school students each year. Not only is my program growing in course offerings, but also in size. I would love to have at least one potters wheels to allow my students the opportunity to grow their skills in an area other than basic hand building. Students will then get a chance to show case their works to the community in an end of the year art show.

With 30 students in each class very few ever get the chance since we do not have any pottery wheels.

Getting a new wheel will allow more students the chance to experience this incredibly fun skill.
