Donations Needed! Resource Materials and Art Supplies!

June 2001

Dear Friends,

In January 2001 I finally completed my Secondary Credential in Art from San Francisco State University. Now, I have another hat to wear -- as a fiber art teacher and a beginning art teacher at Westmoor High School in Daly City.

I am busily building up a supply of art supplies and instructional aids including: a library of resource art books, posters, slides of known artwork, places, artists, and processes. Lessons, instructions and overheads are welcome as well.

I am interested in speaking with you about your donation. Please call me at (415) 822-3809, or email me at estelleakamine@hotmail.com. I will pick up materials/tools or you can drop them off at my studio at Hunters Point Shipyard in SF. What I cannot use, I will donate to SCRAP for the benefit of other teachers in the SF area.

I am especially interested in arts and crafts supplies especially weaving tools and materials. Below is an example of the items I am looking for, though, you may have other items I hadn't thought of:
