This hands-on experience not only inspired creativity but also sparked curiosity about the science behind the process.\r\n\r\nAdditionally, the wax donation will be invaluable as we prepare to dive into Batik on fabric in the coming weeks. This will give our students another exciting opportunity to explore new techniques and expand their artistic skills.\r\n\r\nThank you so much for supporting our classroom and helping bring these creative projects to life!
