In my continuous investigration on humans relationship with material, land, cultural practices, and artistic expression I’ve come across these amazing organizations highlighting and leading efforts at these intersections.
Atmos, a Non Profit Nature Media Organization
“Our mission is to re-enchant people with nature. We inspire cultural transformation by illuminating human impact on the planet, the intelligence of the natural world, and solutions to heal and protect it”
NCECA Green Task Force
“The Green Learning Community is a casual group of makers, artisans, craftsman, distributers, collectors, and educators who gather every month to discuss different topics involving sustainability, materials consumption, and environmental issues and stewardship in ceramics. All are welcome to join these meetings! Click on Green Learning Community above for more information. Next discussion groups listed to the left”
Ceramic Material Atlas
“The Ceramic Materials Atlas works to tell the stories of a particular group of materials commonly used in studio ceramics. The oldest ceramic objects were made around 30,000 years ago, and since that time humans have been digging continuously, forming clay into statues, buildings, and pottery”
Thank you to all these amazing and talented organizations connecting the dots and bringing awareness coupled with action for a more sustainable world !
