Potters Throw Down & Empty Bowls
Empty Bowls is a partnership between Religious Community Services and Craven Arts Council and Gallery. This uplifting event unites businesses, religious and civic groups, professional and amateur potters, restaurants and others, as we use our collective creative energies to make a difference in the lives of others.
This event raises money for local stop-hunger and arts programing in Craven County by selling tickets for Empty Bowls. With each ticket you will receive:
-
Your choice of one handcrafted bowl or home good from hundreds donated by local potters
-
2 bowls of soup donated by local restaurants, community groups and more
-
The great feeling of knowing you helped better your community with your purchase
