Empty Bowls by the local Food Bank – Is an annual artful event to help fight hunger. Participants who wish to contribute in this event purchase a $25.00 ticket in advance. In return they are welcome to exchange their ticket for a piece of pottery that has been donated by local potters. It’s also a luncheon where restaurants come in and serve a wonderful lunch and donate their food to the Tarrant Area Food Bank for this event. So for just $25.00 you get a nice piece of pottery and lunch. There were approximately 1500 tickets sold and the event was a great success. Some potters donate valuable art work so there is a silent auction table set up (actually more like 10 tables lined up) where those pieces are sold for much much more. Then there is what’s called a bump table where a person with a ticket can select a piece of pottery from that table but will have to pay an additional $30 for a very nice piece of pottery. I volunteered and was assigned to the bump table and had a great time helping others pick out their pottery and answer questions.
