PWAG and Reservoir Studio Visit New Castle High School

On Friday November 11, 2016, members of Potters Water Action Group and Reservoir Studio visited New Castle High School  (New Castle, PA) to conduct a water filter presentation and demonstration. Art teacher Raquel Flora and PWAG member/art teacher Cynthia Blackwell coordinated the event.

The water filter production demonstration took place in the art room after the presentation. The art room was filled to capacity. We produced a water filter from scratch with cooperation from students.
