Empty Bowls for a Good CausePosted on: Friday, December 14, 2012Bruton High School (BHS) and School of the Arts students learned about the issue of hunger, as well as about different types of clay pots while participating in the Empty Bowls project this year. Students then sold bowls at the Evening of the Arts on Thursday, Dec 6, 2013. Beth Jones, art teacher at BHS, led the project. Empty Bowls is an international grassroots effort to fight hunger and was created by The Imagine Render Group. The basic premise is simple: Potters and other craftspeople, educators and others work with the community to create handcrafted bowls. In exchange for a cash donation, guests are asked to buy bowls as a reminder of all the empty bowls in the world. The money raised is donated to an organization working to end hunger and food insecurity. Read more |
