Dorchester Academy has teamed up with Original Works – the #1 art based program in the country – to offer a very special program. This program allows you to have your child’s very own artwork reproduced onto a selection of over 20 quality products. These products range from magnets, mugs and mouse pads to t-shirts, tote bags and tiles. The wide selection of professionally produced, full color products offers something for everyone.
Your child will be creating their artwork in school, using the regular art curriculum as the basis for their work of art. You will then have the opportunity to order whatever products you wish with your child’s own artwork featured on each and every product.
We are thrilled to be participating in this unique and innovative pro-gram. Look for complete program, product and pricing information coming soon.
Additional product and program information, as well as customer testi-monials, can be found at www.originalworks.com.
