Saga Leslie
Thacher School
My name is Saga and although my hometown is in LA, I’m a current junior boarding at Thacher. I take a ceramics class at school (with Tea!) and sometimes draw when I have the time. I’m so excited to have received this scholarship and am looking forward to using it towards some new pens and hopefully a ceramic workshop over the summer!
