Empty Bowls
The arts can be a powerful to in uplifting people. It helps us heal, connect, and serve.

I need roughly 10-15 student volunteers to oversee Empty Bowls night. This is a very good resume booster your all of you! I will also have a head student volunteer to help with advising, silent auction, and overall over-site. This year we celebrate our 5 year anniversary!

Step 1: Each student makes 5 well crafted bowls
~We will use high fire
stoneware clay
~Each bowl should have
a foot and a rim
~Each bowl should
be level and well crafted
~NOTE: If bowl is lopsided, uneven, lumpy or too heavy, you will have to redo the bowl entirely. TAKE TIME TO MAKE each both with high perfection. We will only be able to sell highly crafted bowls.

It should take 1 class period to make 2 bowls.
If you complete your 5 bowls early, you can make a ceramic piece that will be put into the silent auction. These items will be sold for more money (which means the work should be very HIGH QUALITY) What you make for the silent auction is up to you.
If there are any ceramic items you would like to donate that you made in the previous assignment, talk to me individually.
Sculpture II Students: Many of you did this last year.
Your Goal: Help lead the team especially with volunteering. Create 6 bowls as well along with at least 1ceramic artworks for the silent auction
