By having two wheels, I could provide the opportunity for my students to experience clay in a whole new way; on the wheel. The two wheels would be rotated by students in the club, so that more students have the opportunity to throw. The wheels would be used year to year. The beginner clay tool kits would provide all the basic tools for throwing on the wheel, and also be used year to year. The 300lbs of clay and the variety of glazes would easily be used for the first few years of starting the club. The club would allow students to work with the clay and on the wheel and extra hour every week.
Giving low-income students access to clay and wheel throwing is an opportunity for them to experience new materials and expand their creativity.
