Teachers are real-life heroes who go above and beyond for their students every day! Raquel from Fossil Ridge High School in Keller ISD helps her students hem and patch worn clothing. Until now, she has been using her personal sewing machine for advanced repairs. Thanks to our wonderful Welman donors, she doesn't have to take projects home anymore!

Our teachers LOVE fabric, sewing materials, and equipment. If you are looking for a good home for your stashing, our donation appointment calendar can be found at my.thewelmanproject.org/givestuff. Summer is our busiest season, so we may be booked out a week or two, but we accept up to one box or bag anytime we’re open without an appointment!

There’s still time to have the best summer ever!

Last week’s Wellie Wonder Summer Camp theme was Bees, Seas, and Trees, where Wellie Wonder campers explored art through nature, as well a variety of art techniques! Birds nest sculptures from handmade paper, porcupine buddies using a variety of power tools, decoupage seashell trinket trays - they even learned the nautical alphabet!

Beep beep, we've got full carts coming through! 🛒

Sally and Christina from Castleberry ISD were two of our very first shoppers when we reopened on May 19th, and they totally scored while collecting items for their summer camps, like scored BIG TIME! The duo packed two full cars worth over $1,300 in free materials, and they can't wait to come back. According to the Castleberry ISD educators, they got 90% of their camp materials from The Welman Project. This is how we work together to fill a classroom, not a landfill!🤩

The Welman Project and Welman Curiosity Shop are CLOSED FRIDAY 6/19 AND SATURDAY 6/20, with regular hours resuming Tuesday, 6/23.
But we are OPEN today, 6/16 til 6pm, Wednesday, 6/17, and Thursday, 6/18, from 12-6pm. Come fill your shopping cart, y'all!

Wellie Wonder Summer Camp at The Welman Project has been totally OFF THE WALLS!

Last week’s Wellie Wonder Campers took the fun beyond the canvas, exploring how art can be found all around! From street art and public art installations, all the way to fashion, these artists learned about artists, experienced new techniques, and had a Wellie great time!

There’s still time to make this the best summer ever by registering for any of the remaining weeks of Wellie Wonder Summer Camp 2026! Read more or sign up your student (and their sibling!) by visiting thewelmanproject.org/camp

Be The Neighbor students from University Presbyterian Church in Austin had a great time visiting The Welman Project during their education justice trip! This group of neighbors used our Makerspace to build a Little Free Library for their community AND learned about the importance of advocating for public education! Thanks so much for choosing to spend time with the Wellies, not only learning about, but also contributing to our mission to fill a classroom, not a landfill!
