Empty Bowls

The Empty Bowls project Empty Bowls is an initiative designed to help feed the hungry by sampling gourmet soups and breads prepared by local restaurants hosted by the Canadian Clay and Glass Gallery. All proceeds go to the Waterloo Food Bank. 

Patrons are able to choose a bowl, have it washed, sample soups and bread and take the bowl home. Background ambience is provided by a harpist and door prizes are given out. As a further fundraiser for the Food Bank, we also set up a raffle of 5 pottery pieces donated by our members. Tickets are sold at our Spring Sale and at the event, with the draws being made at the end of the day.

The Waterloo Potters' Workshop is heading into its 12th year of running Empty Bowls.  To date, the Waterloo Potters' Workshop together with the Canadian Clay & Glass Gallery, local restaurants and bakeries, and our community have raised over $128,231 with this event for the Food Bank.  If you are a member of WPW volunteers are always needed so please consider helping out this year.

Our juror, Joni Moriyama, presented a brief talk about her work that was entertaining and informative. Joni gave an interesting look into the process she followed when selecting the show. The glass cases that the show is displayed in influenced her decisions as she was very conscious not only of the merit of the individual pieces but of how the pieces would fit together as a whole.
