LET’S GET CREATIVE!

 

Empty Bowls invites you to show your creativity while helping our community!

Join us for a Pick & Paint Session where you will be able to select a blank ceramic bowl of your choice. Paint it, stamp it, and decorate it any way you like. Your artwork will be dipped in a clear glaze and fired to make it glossy and food safe. Someone will choose your specially signed creation at Empty Bowls, enjoy soup in it, and take it home with them to cherish!

The donation cost is $10-14 (Depending on your chosen style and size).

There are two Pick & Paint Sessions to choose from!

Session 1 – Saturday, February 11th, 2023
Location: Distractions Art Studio
Time: 11 AM – 1 PM
Participants may choose from tier 1, 2, or 3 bowls ($10-14) and from 3 different color palettes.

Location: Memorial UMC ( Fellowship Hall in the CEC)
Time: 10 AM – 12 PM
