2025 Workshops & Events

Sunday, April 27th; 4-7pm

Empty Bowls is an international grassroots effort to fight hunger.  The basic premise is simple: potters and other craftspeople have donated their time and talent to create handcrafted, ceramic bowls.  Local area restaurants & bakeries generously donate soup, bread and desserts, and guests are invited to a simple meal.  

In exchange for a $35 ticket donation, guests attend the meal, and are asked to keep a hand-crafted bowl as a reminder of all the empty bowls in the world.  

***

 The proceeds will be donated to 

Meals on Wheels of Lancaster, Inc.

***

In additon to the meal, there will be live music by the band Easily Amused, an Art aution, and wheel throwing & glass blowing demonstrations!

Come enjoy an evening out with us in support of an awesome cause!
