SOCIAL MANDATE

There is a growing movement towards responsible consumption as people look for ways to use their purchasing power to directly enhance social values. JustPotters is proud to be a part of this movement. Central to our company's identity is our mandate to provide work opportunities to people who face barriers to employment. Based on the social enterprise model, we have successfully blended financial and social goals for the benefit of our community since 2006.

VISION, MISSION & VALUES

VISION - We aspire to do good business, for the well-being of our staff, employees, customers and community.

MISSION - We are dedicated to creating pottery that has purpose and a story. We sell high-quality, beautiful pieces that foster material, personal and social renewal.

VALUES - We value the beauty, creativity and hard work of every person, and believe that dignifying workplaces help create healthy communities.
