Empty Bowls

Showing our kid to enjoy the art by panting the bowl.

Empty Bowls is an international grassroots effort to fight hunger growing across the nation and world. The idea is that potters, artists, and community members work together to create custom handcrafted bowls. It’s an idea that combines compassion with creativity, public awareness with community building.

Here’s how it works: For a donation of $15, guests will receive their own ceramic bowl to glaze and customize to their liking at one of our public paintings. Guest can then pick up their bowl to keep at our Empty Bowls Soup Dinner to help serve as a reminder of all the bowls that go empty in our area each day.

Three Empty Bowl paintings will be offered each year and held at Pybus Public Market in the LocalTel Event Center. This is a family-friendly event that is loads of fun for groups of friends as well. Keep checking back as we will announce our painting dates with a banner across the top of this page. You may also reserve bowls by using the button to the left to pre-pay.

This year’s Soup Dinner event will be held at Wenatchee High School on April 13th, 4:00 – 7:00 PM. If you did not paint a bowl you are welcome to join us and enjoy a bowl of soup with a $5 donation.
