Bowls for Empty Bowls event

For those of you in the the Joplin area.  Come on down to Phoenix Fired Art, 1603 S. Main, Thursday, November 15th for the first annual Empty Bowls event.  All proceeds go to LOCAL not for profit organizations: Salvation Army, Crosslines and Watered Gardens.  Local potters (myself included) are busy making bowls to donate.  Five restaurants are donating soup for the cause.  Just buy a bowl for a minimum donation of $15 per bowl for your soup and you get to take your bowl home.

The Lawrence Symposium

October 12 and 13th, 2012
The Lawrence Art Center put on another wonderful symposium.  The trouble I had was wanting to be in two places at once...well, three places 'cause Phoenix Fired Art was sponsoring Bede Clark on the 13th. I did choose to watch Chartiy Woodard-Davis and Josh DeWeese...it was an awesome experience watching these two wonderful potters and to see how diverse their styles are when making similar forms.
