Looking for materials!!
Does anyone have a sheet that they can donate? I'm looking for a top sheet, flat. It will be painted and cut, so harbor no hopes of a return. This will be used for our spring art show.
Also I am going to purchase Dow insulation board - the blue board - unless anyone happens to have some lying around. It is the kind that is available in 4'x8' boards in varying thicknesses from 1'2" to 4" wide. Not the pink board- it has a plastic skin that needs to be peeled off before painted. Again, using for the art show. We need to make a life size Oscar.
Anyone who might be hoarding sheets of plywood - IN ANY CONDITION - we would love to find you.
Also, keep drinking your milk and eating your veggies as we need to get more shoes for our shoe drive!!! Any brand, any size will do. They just need to be sneakers.
Thanks!!
Call me or email me if you have any questions: (360) 696.2586 ext. 1401

Museum of Glass - Kids Design Glass Contest!
Once a month, the Museum of Glass will choose one lucky child - ages 12 and under - to create a design in glass. The designs are fantastical creatures of their imagination and the artist must name it, write an explanation or story with the creation on the attached document and turn it into the Museum.
"The Museum’s Hot Shop Team selects one design every month based on its aesthetic merits and transforms the two-dimensional drawing into a three-dimensional sculpture. As the designer, the child directs the artists as they make two sculptures—one for the child to take home and the other for MOG’s Kids Design Glass Collection." The family is given a pass to visit the Museum in Tacoma for free to watch as they create the artwork and the work may be selected as part of the traveling exhibition that visits museums around the country.
I am traveling to the Museum of Glass in Tacoma on October 20 and I am happy to submit any entries from students 12 and under! Please refer to their website to investigate previous winning entries and for more information: Museumofglass.org
