Every year Houston ceramists and woodturners donate work in support of Empty Bowls, a grassroots organization dedicated to helping feed Houston’s hungry.
In exchange for a $25 donation, visitors can pick a bowl and enjoy a delicious cup of soup. All proceeds benefit Houston Food Bank, which can provide a day’s worth of food to twenty-five people for every donation they receive.
HUGE thanks to everyone who came out to make this year one of the most successful Empty Bowls ever! (And of course thanks to @CraftHouston for once again hosting us!) This year artists from all over the city donated over 1,500 bowls, almost all of which found a new home yesterday. We can’t wait to see y’all next year! #EmptyBowlsHou #latergram

I meant for today to be a shop cleanup day but then I got way more excited about sawing out this awesome old chunk of pear into a bowl blank. #AdultADD #Itsliketheykeepchangingthechannel
