The students of the Hopeful School created collages this week using recycled scraps (vipande vidogo vya vitambaa) of kitenge and kanga fabric from a local seamstress. We will be documenting the art work and uploading a gallery soon.

Pottery, by Chelsea

Pottery is a very smooth, relaxing
Feeling
When you make it,
When you spin the wheel
It feels as if I were the creator.
Pottery.

Pottery's awesome!
It's gray and fast and messy
Pottery's fun, go ahead and try it.
Careful, it's alive. Have fun.
