When the boxes arrived, the students were buzzing with curiosity; seeing professional-grade tools like the smoke absorber and glass cutters made them feel like \"real\" artists rather than just students. That initial spark of excitement has transitioned into deep focus.\r\n\r\nWith these essential resources—especially the safety gear —we are now able to function at a high level. Having the smoke absorber has allowed my students to safely begin their pyrography (wood-burning) and stained glass units without any lingering fumes, just concentration with the material. Because you provided the foundation of safety and professional equipment, my students are no longer just sketching on paper—they are engineering durable, professional-grade art that they are incredibly proud to claim as their own.","fullyFundedDate":1760396537342,"projectUrl":"project/mastering-heat-light-and-texture-in-a/9812572/","projectTitle":"Mastering Heat, Light, and Texture in a Safe 3D Studio","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Angeline","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9062643_orig.jpg?crop=2919,2919,x0,y155&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1760379990805","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9062643"},{"teacherId":9062643,"projectId":9617634,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for contributing to my grant in support of my ceramic's program.

This step makes their handmade creations last a lifetime and will be on many tables and shelves proudly displayed.
