Inspirations Studio is a unique low barrier ceramics program for women and gender diverse people who have experienced marginalization. Through creative, therapeutic and skill-building work, women gain self-confidence and stability while connecting to community, gaining a source of supplemental income, and finding a new way to engage with the world as makers. Art—and clay in particular— can bring c
hange and offer healing, while giving people purpose, pride, passion and joy. Members of the program receive studio access, storefront selling opportunities and arts education. Inspirations Studio also offers accessible, low barrier workshops and collaborative opportunities for partner agencies who work with underserved communities.
