Empty Bowls

Today was the Nevada Clay Guild's Annual Empty Bowls Benefit.
It was another great event as usual.



Next month, the guild will install new officers and for the first time in 8 years, there will be significant changes in the officers of the guild. Most of the officers for the last 8 years have kind of rotated through the positions; mainly because we were the most active members of the guild. This year, most of the officers will be new. It's kind of time for a change.

That looks pretty neat. I take it that you donate bowls and people buy them right?

Yeah, an Empty Bowl event usually has soup included in the cost of the bowl and you keep the bowl. All of the bowls are donated by the potters and we sold them for $12.00 with additional bowls (without soup) sold for $10.00 I've told them for a couple of years now that we need to raise the initial price of the bowls to something like $15.00. But they aren't good at listening. We might sell less bowls (but I doubt it) and we would make more money with fewer bowls. Everyone does understand that it is for charity. A $10.00 handmade bowl is ridiculous.

That is a pretty cool idea for charity. It all makes sense now. : )

So what bowl did you buy? I always loved to see the bowls you made for this event and the bowl(s) you brought home.
