Nonprofit life, garden life, and pottery life converge: ceramic garden markers made for @thegardenworksproject auction. Gardenworks grows food, and feeds people in Dupage County, IL. We funnel locally grown veggies into the food pantries and directly into the hands of those who need it.

Teaching is a privilege. Witnessed 60 little faces light up (and a few get totally grossed out) touching wet spinning clay on a beautiful day.
