What is Queer Cat?!
Queer Cat is a free annual ceramic art program serving LGBTQIA+ artists in the Portland area, driven by community-building, advocacy, and accessibility. Our programming provides queer folks an access point and launchpad for growth in the local wood-fire ceramics community, centering clay education, mentorship, and the creation of ceramic art. Queer Cat challenges patriarchal, racist, and ableist norms pervasive in wood-fire spaces by supporting access for QTBIPOC, increasing gender diversity, and offering clay education at no cost.
To that end, Queer Cat programming includes free workshops, community events, and opportunities for leadership, mentorship, and education – like this one! For more information on the program and to follow along and follow us on Instagram @queercatfiring.
