Community Outreach

2023 - Present

The Community Outreach Programme hopes to dismantle the barriers that people from marginalised or vulnerable groups may face by offering supportive free and subsidised courses in ceramics.

In 2023, I became ‘Community Coordinator’ and worked with support from Glasgow Ceramic Studio to establish the studio’s outreach programme. I grew the existing programme, of singular basis workshops, to offering structured courses including a 4-week introduction workshop and a 10-week clay continuation course.

The programme runs in partnership with charities across Glasgow including InCahootz, Projectability and Humanising Healthcare. It has expanded to include a team of amazing volunteers, whose engagement is hugely appreciated and essential to keeping sessions going.
