Keep The Crucible's Fires Burning

I think The Crucible has impacted my life for the better, 100%. Art, especially industrial art,  has kept me grounded. I am so lucky to have grown up in this environment where I was nurtured creatively. Now I can give that back. It fills me with light, to be able to watch students grow and see them gain more confidence like I did.”
