Bowl Construction Workshop in February

The Palouse Studio Potters Guild held a workshop to make bowls during the "Haiti Benefit Breakfast" held in Moscow on February 21st 2010 at the 1912 Center. The Benefit raised funds for Haiti to be distributed by Moscow women who traveled to Haiti. One of the women was Ryan Law also a member of the Guild.
The Potters brought clay and tools and took over the arts and crafts room of the 1912 Center. Community members were invited to do handmade bowls for the April 17th Empty Bowls Project.

The workshop was so popular we had more interest in making bowls than we could handle.


Most of the bowls that made were constructed by the "pancake" style in molds.


Here Guild Member, Carolyn Guy, instructs Andy on some of the important points of a slab built bowl.

Allie is having a wonderful time with her bowl.


Celadon is doing a few variations with her bowl.


Here are a few of the bowls made that day. After this the members of the Potter's Guild took the bowls back to their individual studios, dried them carefully, loaded bisque kilns and fired them, applied glazes and then high fired them. Still a lot of work to do before they are ready for Empty Bowls.
