Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!
Today, I 'd like to show you some of the 1,200 bowls that artists of Pierce County, WA, made and sold during the Empty Bowl event (11/18/2012)
to help feed the hungry.
All proceeds go to the Emergency Food Network.
Empty Bowls is an international grassroots effort to fight hunger whose basic premise is simple:
Potters and other craftspeople, educators, students and others create handcrafted bowls that are meant to remind people of all of the empty bowls in the world.

ReplyDeleteHi Janneke! People were buying them for themselves, for kids, and very often as Christmas gifts.
DeleteI love pottery! Some of these are really beautiful. I've never heard of this charity, thanks for letting us know about it. Happy Thanksgiving!
ReplyDeleteAlison, thanks and Happy Thanksgiving to you! This was the first time that I attended this event. I didn't expect to see so many people! And, several restaurants served customers delicious warm soup!
DeleteI loved the bowls. They are the one of the most basic, utilitarian & beautiful art forms. Happy Thanksgiving. It's nice to have a day without rain.

ReplyDeleteWe have an event like this happening at our high school and with input from the community--I hope to participate. Thanks for sharing images of the lovely bowls and reminding us about the importance of helping neighbors in need.
ReplyDeleteGreat cause and lovely bowls. I am especially fond of thrown pots, though that record album is a fun bowl!
