This is an Empty Bowls fundraiser in support of the Richmond Food Shelf. It is an opportunity to help alleviate food insecurity here in our local community.

100% of the purchase price of a bowl goes to the Richmond Food Shelf.

Each bowl is a creative collaboration between local potters and community members. The potters created the forms from stoneware clay for local folks to decorate with colorful underglazes. The bowls were then fired with a clear glossy glaze.

Each bowl is unique with variations in design and decoration. In general they are the size of a soup bowl.

The bowls are on display at the Richmond Community Kitchen in the village of Richmond, VT. Purchase of the bowls is transacted here only and can then be picked up at the Richmond Community Kitchen for the duration of the sale. Please bring your receipt.

With much thanks to the many makers:

Alison Forrest, Betsy Martin, Betsy Orvis, Chris Billis, Daryl Storrs, Debra Townsend, Deb Sharpe, Diane Mariano, Ellen Falsgraf, Elizabeth Meyer, Gordon Rowe, Gretchen Paulsen, Hannah Lavia, Hannah Townsend, Indira Bush, Jean Wright, Jen Kenney, John Cohn, Judy Bush, Julie Lerman, Kathryn Wysockey-Johnson, Maria Bush, Marie Schonholtz, Marilynne Johnson, Martha Galligan, Nate Kenney, Peggy Curtis, Sally Hess, Shawn McSweeney, Tim Kenney, and Tim Schonholtz.

And special thanks to Richmond Community Kitchen for displaying the bowls and Radiate Art Space for studio use.
