This year the proceeds from the Palouse Studio Potter's Guild donated the proceeds of our annual Empty Bowls Project to the food bank that serves the Kendrick-Julietta, ID area and to OxFam international. We appreciated the gracious response from the Kendrick-Julietta Food Bank staff.
As in previous years, we had a beautiful array of handmade bowls from which to choose.
And the choice offered to people was so vast. Different shapes, different glaze colors, and different techniques of surface decorations.
Often, people exclaimed how difficult it was to choose their favorite bowl because there were so many great pieces of pottery.
Potter's Guild members Ryan Law and Val Boydo accept the donation money and explain to the participants about the charities that will receive the proceeds and about the beautiful bowls.
Then the participants choose one of the delicious soups donated by the Moscow Food Co-op in their new handmade bowl.
To add to the enjoyable atmosphere of the day. We were treated to entertainment by musicians who also donated their time and talent.
We couldn't do it without the help of volunteers. The effort of Gary Marvin, in the kitchen the entire event, is our favorite.
