No Experience Necessary...Bow-a-thon Shapes Volunteers

Jan. 6, 2011 - PRLog -- Roll it...mold it…throw it…paint it…no experience necessary, just bring a friend and have some fun at this Sunday’s Bowl-a-thon for Empty Bowls.  High school students and adults from around the community will gather to volunteer their time, from 1-3pm, at the Kilns-n-Clay Studio to handcraft bowls for the Empty Bowls Naples Event.  Kilns-n-Clay and the North Collier Junior Women’s Club will host this event which teaches students not only the art of throwing bowls, but also the heart of giving.  The ceramic bowls formed and painted will be fired and ready for selection at the Empty Bowls Naples Event.

Empty Bowls is a nationwide fundraiser dedicated to raising awareness of the issue of hunger and helps to support local food banks.  A $10 donation allows an attendee to choose a handmade/hand painted ceramic bowl and taste a delicious soup served up by one of Naples local restaurants.  The Empty Bowls Event in Naples is one of the major fundraisers to benefit the Harry Chapin Food Bank.  Local artists will also donate pieces for auction with all proceeds going to the local food banks.  Save the date and make a difference by simply choosing a bowl that you will treasure.
