Brattleboro Clayworks Welcomes New Members

Brattleboro Clayworks is pleased to have Maria Chambers and Shari Zabriskie join us as members. We will be featuring Maria and Shari's pieces in our gallery during December and we are having a reception at our gallery during Gallery Walk on December 7th from 5:30 to 8:00pm.

Empty Bowls Dinner

On Saturday, October 11th, 2008 the Clayworks will sponsor the fourth annual Brattleboro Empty Bowls Dinner as a fund-raiser for the Brattleboro Drop-In Center, a local food shelf and shelter for homeless persons. The event will be held in the cafeteria of Landmark College in Putney.

Starting at 5 p.m., for a $20 minimum donation, guests will be served a simple nutritious meal of soup, bread and cheese, beverage, and dessert.  More than 500 handmade bowls are being donated by dozens of area potters, both amateur and professional. While eating, diners can chat with friends, old and new, while being serenaded by local musicians. They are invited to keep the bowl from which they eat as a reminder that while their bellies may be full, there are many who go hungry each day throughout the world.

A $20 minimum ticket donation allows the Drop-In Center to purchase more than 100 pounds of food. Beginning in September tickets may be purchased  at Everyone's Books in Brattleboro and Heartstone Books in Putney, or by calling the Drop-In Ctr.

Clayworks frequently  participates in  Brattleboro's monthly Gallery Walk.
Founded in 1995, the Gallery Walk is a collaboration with the Arts Council of Windham County. It's a year-round, festive FIRST FRIDAY stroll, 5:30 to 8:30, in downtown Brattleboro, Vt. and nearby locations. Call venues to confirm exhibit hours during the month, or go to www.gallerywalk.org for further info.
