The San Jose Mobile Ceramics Station

Project Overview:
The San Jose Mobile Ceramics Station aims to bring interactive ceramics and pottery experiences to community events, fairs, and festivals in San Jose. Unlike typical booths that only demonstrate or sell pottery, our mobile station will allow participants to engage hands-on with clay, spin the pottery wheel, and create their own pieces to take home. This project will foster creativity, provide a unique artistic outlet, and enhance community engagement at local events.

Who Will Benefit:
The primary beneficiaries will be the residents of San Jose attending community events, including children, teenagers, adults, and seniors. The project will provide an inclusive and interactive art experience that is often missing at local events.

Project Goals:
Impact: Offer a hands-on ceramics experience that will enhance the cultural and creative life of the San Jose community.
Reach: Engage a broad audience by setting up at various popular community events and festivals.
Staying Power: Build a sustainable mobile ceramics station that can continue to operate beyond the initial grant period.
Accessibility: Provide a free or low-cost art experience to ensure participation from all socio-economic backgrounds.
