Empty Bowls

Potters Showcase
St. Andrew's Episcopal School

On January 18th advanced ceramics students at St. Andrew's Episcopal School in Potomac, MD commemorated Martin Luther King, Jr. Day by hosting a "Bowl-a-Thon" for SOME's upcoming Empty Bowls events.

20 students provided a combined 50 hours of work to produce 125 bowls for the two events which will be held this March. The students plan to glaze, trim, and finish the bowls over the next few weeks during their activity periods and after school.

SOME is so grateful to the students and faculty of St. Andrew's for their contribution to Empty Bowls this year.

Thank you to everyone who helped the hungry and homeless at SOME's 2010 Empty Bowls.

Benefiting SOME's meal programs, Empty Bowls is an annual event where guests enjoy a simple soup supper and may select and take home gorgeous hand-crafted bowls.

Empty Bowls is generously supported by local potters and restaurants who are listed below. Among the talented potters who contributed bowls were students, alumni and professors from the Corcoran College of Art and Design - a story about their "Bowl-A-Thon" was reported by CNN.

If you would like additional information or are interested in donating bowls or food to next year's event, please contact Megan Gannon at 202.797.8806, ext. 1010 or at mgannon@some.org.
