The impact is simply that student has the means to glaze their bisque ware and enjoy their pottery in their own home whether in the kitchen or outdoors. The joy of learning and finishing a piece is priceless. The glaze that we were given was enough for my each of my students to create and complete many pieces. For that, we are very grateful.\r\n\r\nThis course and these supplies are truly for every student of every level. Everyone can create pottery and with the glaze from my donors, everyone can finish their pieces, too.","fullyFundedDate":1666211415390,"projectUrl":"project/got-glaze/6658601/","projectTitle":"Got Glaze?","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Baik","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp4652154_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1502807028762","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/patricia-baik"},{"teacherId":3455452,"projectId":9335246,"letterContent":"In the world of artists, paint brushes truly are like a magic wand.

You could hear expressions of \"yay\" and \"so sparkly and new\". When I informed them of how they came to be in our class, they were amazed that random people and companies would be willing to pay for items for people they didn't even know.
