Public Ceramics

Pottery is deeply rooted in the practice of indigenous communities around the world, a tradition that is tens of thousands of years old. Yet despite the fact that modern ceramics draws on practices developed by indigenous communities on nearly every continent, American ceramics studios are largely devoid of people of color, particularly Black and Latinx folks.

Public Ceramics seeks to change that by offering ceramics fellowships to people from marginalized identities that have been historically underrepresented in American studios. We want to build and support a thriving community of ceramicists of color who feel supported and connected to one another and the broader ceramics community.
