It’s great to be part of a school that can balance a fun environment, where students can make new friends while creating challenging art projects.

During last summer camps when we used Monster Clay. This was a new material for me to use, and the students had so much fun using it. The finished projects far exceeded my expectations.

During one of the summer classes, my students became such good friends within a week that they organized an end of the week party. Their projects were pretty amazing too 😊.
