West Seattle High School will collect new and gently used art supplies Saturday, Nov. 14, from 10 a.m. to noon in its front parking lot at 3000 California SW. The school's National Art Honor Society chapter is organizing the drive for art classes and student organizations.

Requested materials include armature and sculpture wire, stretched canvas or canvas rolls, artist-grade acrylic paint and brushes, textile and sewing supplies, stained glass supplies, 35mm film and photographic paper, archival watercolor paper, and Cone 4-6 stoneware clay and glazes. Expired film and photographic paper are welcome, and Arches is the preferred watercolor paper.

Donations must be in good working condition. Large equipment donations should be approved in advance, and ceramics donations are limited to sealed, clearly labeled Cone 4-6 clay and glazes. Clothing, bedding, household decor, house paint, broken items, and general recycling materials will not be accepted.

Questions about supply donations can be directed to National Art Honor Society sponsor Mary Howard Logel at [email protected].

The school's Visual Arts Department is also accepting financial contributions for ceramics equipment repairs, materials, and student opportunities. Donations can be made online through SchoolPay or by cash or check at the main office to avoid the 3.99% fee.
