Ubuntu Ceramics is a Black and Asian, woman-owned community ceramics studio that focuses on peer learning, relationship building, and radical togetherness. We hope to celebrate craft cultures from the Global Majority in our programming and curation of the space; to reconnect to pottery’s cultural, historical, and communal roots; and to reclaim ceramics as a liberatory art form.
Our programming aims to reflect and to center our Black neighbors across generations and to provide a nurturing environment where students of color can unleash their creativity.
Who we are
We are a group of ceramicists who met through a studio and together have 40 years of cumulative experience in teaching ceramics, building accessible educational programming, and managing a studio.
We came together because we strongly believe in the importance of clay and other crafts in healing, celebrating, and empowering communities of color.
