It’s called People’s Pottery Project, and they’re breaking down the barriers that make the near-impossible transition from life behind bars to back out into society, so difficult to overcome. Image description: Hands making pottery// Source: PixabayThe People’s Pottery Project’s origin story begins where a lot of peoples’ does…outside of prison. As Ilka and Domonique put it “ Prison breaks you, and then puts you back into the world a broken person.”. A redemption story best told by those who lived it…The impact of People’s Pottery Project is best felt by hearing it straight from Ilka, Domonique, and the other people who make up their community of artists and changemakers. If you’d like to support their work and maybe purchase one of their heartfelt ceramic creations, you can shop People’s Pottery Project, sign up for a class, or donate to their cause right here on their website.
