Empty Bowls Project Raises More Than $2000 for Food Bank of Northern Indiana
The inaugural Empty Bowls project at the Center at Donaldson was a resounding success, filled to the brim with eager participants. The project began in early February at MoonTree Studios, when the public was invited in on a Saturday to make clay bowls with their own hands. Participants then returned two weeks later to glaze their bisque-fired bowls with combinations of blue, beige, green, and reddish-brown glazes. These unique bowls numbered over 300 for the Empty Bowls soup supper on Saturday, March 15.

Center at Donaldson to Launch Empty Bowls Project
The Center at Donaldson is launching a project as part of an international grassroots effort to fight hunger. The Empty Bowls project is a concept created by The Imagine Render Group, with a basic premise: potters and clay craftspeople work with interested participants to create handcrafted bowls to be sold during a supper event. Later, the public is invited to a simple meal of soup and bread. In exchange for a cash donation at the supper, guests enjoy a simple meal and keep a bowl as a reminder of all the empty bowls in the world.
