This year, we joined a national effort of potters around the world to sell bowls then donate the money to food relief organizations. It was beyond our expectations. We hoped to raise a few hundred dollars but ended up selling enough bowls to send $1000 to the Chicago Food Depository and another $1000 to the World Food Programme. Special thanks to all the parent, student, and teacher patrons and to my generous students for your time and enthusiasm for this project.
