About the Artist

Meet CJ Carter

Queer, creative, nerdy, and a genuine Pacific Northwesterner. I love board games, art, being outdoors, and of course working with clay. 

Outside Brave Bear Ceramics

I teach continuing education ceramics classes at North Seattle College and coach small-group HIIT fitness classes. I launched PRIDE FIT Personal Training in 2020, focused on helping female, queer, and trans individuals who are new to fitness.
