La, Aunt M and I spent the afternoon today out in Oak Park, glazing pottery for Empty Bowls, a charity event that helps raise money to fight hunger. It's a neat idea. Artists and students spend the weeks leading up to the event creating the bowls and glazing them beautifully. The goal for the Oak Park event this year is to create 1,000 bowls. Visitors who attend the event may choose a bowl, which is then filled with soup donated by area restaurants. The cost is $15, and visitors leave with an original piece of artwork.
The Empty Bowls event is open to the public, and will take place on Friday, February 27th at 6:00 pm at Oak Park/River Forest High School.
