The bowls are for an ICA Foodshelf and ResourceWest fundraiser.
Patch editors are reporters and writers, photographers and videographers. We do a little bit of everything. One thing we don’t normally do, though, is make clay bowls. That didn’t stop us from heading to Hopkins High School on Friday and taking a turn at the pottery wheel. We were just two people in a room full of largely untrained potters making bowls for the 14th annual Empty Bowls Fundraiser for Hunger. The event raises money for ResourceWest and ICA Foodshelf. People from all over the community first get together for bowl-making events. In our case, Hopkins High School art instructor Terry Chamberlain’s pottery students ensured we didn’t mess up too bad (although one of us did have a memorable failure). Empty Bowls then takes place …
