The Hawaii Potters Guild in conjunction with Aloha Harvest sponsored an event, The 2017 Empty Bowl. Aloha Harvest is a non-profit organization devoted to feeding the hungry. The Hawaii Potters Guild started Empty Bowl in 2009. "Empty Bowl Hawai'i is a unique event where artists and chefs get together to help support food security snd end hunger. Each ticket purchase includes soup, bread and a bowl. Select from thousands of beautiful bowls created by local potters and community members." Jeannie donated 50 bowls that she created for the event!
The bowl that I selected was created by a master Japanese potter and is amazing! I was impressed by Jeannies hard work creating 50 bowls and her volunteer effort helping to set up the tables with 3000 bowls.
