We are excited to announce that this winter and spring we will be offering FREE clay classes for the community!

The Bloom Project is offering two 6-week clay courses. Participants will make clay pieces that will contribute to a collective clay scuplture to be publicly displayed at an art exhibit in San Antonio.

In this political landscape of fear, violence, and uncertainty, we will use clay to create a space of connection, creativity, and healing as we reimagine ourselves and our world.

“Education, if it means anything, should not take people away from the land, but instill in them even more respect for it, because educated people are in a position to understand what is being lost. The future of the planet concerns all of us, and all of us should do what we can to protect it. As I told the foresters, and the women, you don’t need a diploma to plant a tree.”
— Wangari Maathai

Women will save us all.
Happy International Women’s Day!

Our first trip of the year is next week. We’re zooming around trying to get things just right to take a group of 12 of our youth camping, hiking, and caving at Colorado Bend state Park. We miss our bat friend we met last year!

Here are some items we still need. A share, donation to our page, or donation of the item would be deeply valued.
