Can clay, as a material, play a role in the fostering of queer space to
encourage engagement and community building?

Clay can offer a unique tactile experience shaped by the intuitive
and calming nature of the material. This project explores the
above question through the facilitation of workshops where
ceramic making acts as a conduit for conversations to emerge,
connections to be formed and queer spaces to be created.

For queer individuals, engagement with queer communities is
necessary to allow for development of identity, authenticity, and a
sense of belonging and understanding. Drawing from queer
theory, particularly studies on the fostering of queer space, and the
materiality of clay, this project offers new ways of thinking about
ceramic practices within the realm of queer art practices and
queer community outreach
