What if a simple pottery class could become a place where someone feels accepted, discovers a new passion, or builds the confidence to connect with others?

That’s the vision behind The Pottery Project.

Created by Friends of The Little White House, The Pottery Project provides inclusive creative and therapeutic art experiences for children, teens, and adults with neurodivergent abilities. Through clay, we’re creating more than pottery—we’re creating confidence, connection, self-expression, and belonging.

The Backyard Social is more than a fundraiser—it’s a celebration of the public launch of The Pottery Project as we open our studio doors to the community. Every ticket, sponsorship, and donation helps provide pottery supplies, equipment, scholarships, and meaningful employment opportunities for individuals with neurodivergent abilities.

When you support this event, you’re investing in a place where creativity becomes confidence, friendships are formed, and every person has the opportunity to belong.

Thank you for believing in this mission and helping us build a more inclusive community—one piece of clay at a time.
