Ceramics club to sponsor bowl-a-thon
PASADENA, Texas — The San Jacinto College (SJC) ceramics club, a student organization on the Central campus, is sponsoring a bowl-a-thon to benefit the Houston Food Bank Empty Bowls effort on Saturday, March 13, 2010, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the SJC Central Campus Slocomb Fine Arts Building.
“The bowl-a-thon is open to the public, and everyone is invited to come play in the mud and make a bowl that will be donated to Empty Bowls Houston,” said Michael Unger, art department professor at San Jacinto College.
The SJC ceramics club will provide the clay and assist guests in making a one-of-a-kind bowl. SJC art students will then finish, glaze and fire the bowl before donating them to Empty Bowls Houston. Light refreshments will also be provided.
About Empty Bowls
Empty Bowls is a grassroots effort by artists and craftspeople in cities and towns across the country to feed the hungry in their communities. Empty Bowls Houston is presented by Whole Food Market and implemented locally by Houston-area ceramists and artists working in various media, Houston Center for contemporary Craft, Lawndale Art Center and the Houston Food Bank.
Empty Bowls Houston will take place May 22, 2010. For a minimum donation of $25, attendees receive a simple lunch of soup, bread and water, and then select a bowl from hundreds of one-of-a-kind, handcrafted bowls donated by Houston-area artists. The empty bowls serve as a reminder of all the empty bowls in the community and around the world. All proceeds benefit the Houston Food Bank. For more information, visit www.houstonfoodbank.org.
