The Empty Bowls Project is a national series of charitable events designed to address the issue of hunger (so bizarre that that would be an issue, especially in a country as able as ours) by supporting local food banks in the participating cities. It's a great way from those who love art, pottery or...bowls...to come together and buy some amazing pieces from some really awesome local potters AND demonstrate a commitment to support your local food bank.
The concept is simple, you attend your local Empty Bowls event, make a charitable donation by purchasing a bowl, and have that bowl filled with yummy soup. Proceed to the yummy soup feasting area, and enjoy some music. When you're done? We'll wrap that bowl up for you and send you on your way.
I'm sure it's done with a different twist depending on your area, but if you happen to be in Austin on Sunday, November 18th, be sure to visit us at Clayways. If you're not in Austin, keep your eyes out for your local Empty Bowl event. This will be my first year, but I'm looking forward to it becoming a habit. Let me know if you're dropping by, so that I may hug you and direct you to some soup.
That is, of course...if you don't mind being hugged. If you mind the hugs, I'll just point and grin.
