Meet the Potters
On Saturday May 8, 2010, over twenty local ceramic artists will be displaying and selling their wares from 10-4 at the River Garden on Main Street, Brattleboro VT. The event is designated to showcase the many and diverse talents of local potters and is a benefit for the local Brattleboro Area Drop-In Center. In addition, there will be pottery throwing demonstrations as well as food and beverage vendors. Open to the public, come and pick up a Mother's Day gift and Meet the Potters! Sponsored by the Brattleboro Clayworks.
Empty Bowls Dinner
On Saturday, October 9th, 2010 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, ($20 with raffle ticket), 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.
