• I believe that art makes a difference to us as individuals as well as a society.
• We can make beautiful objects of peace & harmony or edgy work that raises difficult issues - or both!
• There are an increasing number of prizes, collective & personal ceramics projects that are focussed on using clay to heal / improve individual lives and/or society.

If making socially-engaged art is not your thing, then facilitating & supporting social causes is another option to consider. Forgive me if I sound cynical (I'm not) but making a stand publically on social media also brings you a lot of visibility (and likes).
