People’s Pottery Project Uplifts Formerly Incarcerated LGBTQIA+ Folks

For June, the Floret Coalition is supporting People’s Pottery Project! People's Pottery Project's mission is to employ and empower formerly incarcerated women, trans, and non-binary individuals through paid job training, access to healing community, and meaningful employment in their collective non-profit ceramic business.

“Through our collective work, members gain a platform to connect to others, share their stories, and ultimately transform dominant narratives about those who have experienced incarceration.”

Their program allows participants to earn a living wage at every point of involvement with the business, from training, to fabricating, to ongoing employment. They provide opportunities to build technical skills through creative ceramic fabrication work, running the ceramics studio, and teaching ceramics classes to local artists and families, as well as develop business skills such as inventory management, writing and promotions, developing our business strategy, marketing, and sales. Please join us by making a donation today to support their important work.
