My Project
This request is for supplies for my sculpture classes to create wire wrapped jewelry. This project is really important because it teaches students important fine motor skills, problem-solving skills, creative independence, and business strategies.
Students will design their own "set" of three different pieces of jewelry.
The jewelry pieces need to match each other and be their own unique designs. Along the way, students will learn different wire wrapping strategies as well as techniques that small business jewelers use to sell their products to the public in the future as small business owners. Students will be able to wear their creations and show off their talents and skills.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
