Empty Bowls Open Studio

Every year our studio members and broader clay community make about 200 bowls to donate to the Empty Bowls fundraiser for food insecurity programs in Cook County. We’re opening our clay studio doors to anyone who wants to be part of the effort and learn some new skills. These open studio dates are for hand building only (slabs, coils, pinch, etc) so there’s no experience required. We are hoping that everyone who is interested can come try out making a few bowls with clay. We will have some pre-defined projects outlined but participants are encouraged to try out other ideas as they please.
