Sustainability
Every Handcrafted Small Artisan Bowl is made by women in Chelsea, Alabama, through Prodigal Pottery’s social enterprise program. Using traditional techniques and locally sourced materials, the pottery process emphasizes small-batch craftsmanship over mass production. By purchasing this bowl, you’re not only reducing reliance on factory-made goods but also directly supporting fair wages, life-changing benefits, and safe employment for women rebuilding their lives. Each piece is more than just tableware, it’s a sustainable investment in people and community.
About Prodigal Pottery
At Prodigal Pottery, every piece tells a story of hope, healing, and second chances. Handmade just outside Birmingham, Alabama, our pottery is crafted by women fleeing homelessness, domestic abuse, and sex trafficking. We exist to employ, equip, and empower women in crisis, offering dignified work and a path forward through the love of Jesus.
We work directly out of King’s Home, a long-term shelter that provides safety and stability for women and children. Many of our artisans are residents there or are part of The WellHouse, a safe home for survivors of sex trafficking. Regardless of their past, we welcome each woman with open arms and provide the tools they need to build a brighter future.
Our mission is not just to create beautiful, functional pottery, it’s to restore lives through meaningful work, community, and faith. When you purchase from Prodigal Pottery, you're not just buying a product, you're investing in a woman’s future and the hope that she carries.
