Noticing a shortage in resources for formerly incarcerated women, People's Pottery Project, a non-profit ceramics studio in LA's Glassell Park neighborhood, offers stability, support, employment, and empowerment for women, trans, and non-binary individuals. Through the sensitive and intuitive art of ceramics, PPP offers the opportunity for a second chance at life, encouraging growth and healing through community building in the arts. People's Pottery Project was founded in 2019 as an artist-driven initiative whose mission is to empower formerly incarcerated women, trans, and nonbinary individuals through the arts. Through paid job training, People's Pottery Project provides access to a healing community, and meaningful employment in its collective non-profit ceramic business. PPP's flexible programs allow participants to earn a living wage at every point of involvement with the business, from training, to fabricating, to ongoing employment. Through their collective work, members gain a platform to connect to others, share their stories, and ultimately transform dominant narratives about those who have experienced incarceration.
