Students in Ms. Shafer’s ceramics class have been working tirelessly on making bowls, along with help from teachers who got in on the bowl-making action, that will be donated to the Empty Bowls project taking place at the Churchill County Library on Sunday, April 16 from noon to 3 p.m. The Empty Bowls project is a national movement created by ceramic artists to combat food insecurity in communities.
Shafer said the idea is that they make ceramic bowls and host an event where people can come trade non-perishable food items, hygiene items, or cash, and in exchange, they receive a handmade bowl, homemade soup, and bread. All proceeds go toward supporting the CC Library and the Fallon Chamber of Commerce’s Karma Box. Last year they had 150 bowls, raised $3,000, and filled three trucks full of food for the Karma Box. This year, they hope to have at least 250 bowls and exceed last year’s donations.
