Art Resources
Our Art Closet is located in the basement across from the Music Room.
This is where you will find supplies for your projects as well as a number of Art books and posters.
If you need help finding anything or have found we are out of something be sure to contact us in advance of your project.
PLEASE KEEP THE ART CLOSET TIDY!
NEED ART SUPPLIES?
(Either for a specific project or for the art closet as a whole)
A few instructions:
1. Please allow 5 days lead time, if we have less than 5 days notice, we can't guarantee we can get the supplies to you in time. (For large orders or very specific items that may be difficult to find, please allow more time, at least 7-10 days)
2. Please make sure to provide the best way to contact you, this is how we will let you know when the art supplies are ready and available.
3. If you have leftover supplies from your project, please put them away in the designated areas in the art closet. If there is not a designated area for your item, please leave them with a note "Leftover Art Project Supplies" in the art room and we will organize accordingly.
CERAMIC PROJECTS AND THE KILN
There is a kiln available at Washington for clay projects.
The kiln is located downstairs in the electrical room; this room is kept locked so let the custodian know if you will need access. There are shelves available in this room for drying pieces as well as the kiln and accessories. Please keep kiln instructions in this room!
Here are some helpful videos for when you're ready to fire your pieces:
