"One of the most recurring comments I get during residencies and performances is related to the sense of calm and peacefulness that students say they feel... Even students who frequently have difficulties with managing their attention or emotions in classroom settings often find that working with clay can help to cultivate connection and calm during the learning experience." - Teaching Artist and Performer, Melissa Foss https://lnkd.in/d_ZcZx2 #StoryTapestries #ElevateVoices #CelebrateCommunity #ArtsInEducation
