MudGirls Studios
Venture Overview
MudGirls Studios is a creator of high-quality and functional ceramic art and architectural tiles made by the hands of women transitioning out of poverty and into lives of empowerment and self-sufficiency. Founder Dorrie Papademetriou, a fine artist with a BFA from Bowling Green State University and former curator of the Noyes Museum of Art, has long believed that art is transformative. Through decades of community arts programming in schools, assisted living centers, and rehabilitation facilities, she saw the need for dignified transitional employment for chronically unemployed women. MudGirls Studios exists to combine art, income generation, and social change.
