People's Pottery Project empowers formerly incarcerated women and trans people through our non-profit ceramics arts studio. Guided by formerly incarcerated leaders, our collectively built arts center is a place for healing, education, and community. With support from LA2050, we will more than double our studio space (adding a 3,000 sq ft studio), double the number of formerly incarcerated people we employ (from 7 to up to 20), and provide healing ceramics classes to up to 1,000 members of the community.
