Clay Bowls

My students and I recently created these clay bowls for an Empty Bowls Project, sponsored by the Second Harvest Food Bank. Second Harvest Food Bank holds a luncheon, and donors buy a ticket to the lunch to help raise money for the food bank. People attending the luncheon choose an empty bowl to take home with them as a reminder of the problem with hunger many people face today as they 'figuratively' look into empty bowls day after day.
