Cumberland is one of the few elementary schools in the district lucky enough to run its own kiln! The clay program is a very special art experience for all grades. Students work on grade-level appropriate skills and techniques to produce their very own art pieces. Volunteer docents do not have to operate the kiln or have any previous experience.
Each grade level class will make a total of two projects over the school year. The clay program will provide detailed instructions to volunteers. Volunteers will then teach their class. Projects have already been pre-selected for each grade. We ask volunteers to teach from the provided project curriculum.
If you have ideas for projects, suggestions to improve the program or would like to help chair our clay program, please contact the program chairs at clay@cumberlandpta.org.
