Multiplying Bowls!

When are 250 bowls not enough?  Well, when we have over 200 glazed bowls by November 1st, it means it's time to order more bowls!  We just received a new shipment of bowls to meet the needs of our remaining glazing sessions.  Join us to get them ready for our January 28th dinner!

Education and Outreach at WMS

 Thanks to the great work of Monica Selmont, Tammy Overchuk, and interested students at WMS, we have a great educational campaign underway in our middle school.  Check out the cafeteria tables and the student council bulletin board for information, and stay tuned as students initiate other ways to help us think about the issue of food insecurity and our role as change agents.  Students have also been assisting new participants in our glazing sessions.  Beginning with our meeting tomorrow, we welcome students to attend our Empty Bowls committee meetings and to take a larger part in making our project a success.

Glazing at the Westbrook Library and the Senior Center

We're taking our glazing sessions on the road!  We have been invited to bring glazing sessions to the Westbrook Public Library on Saturday, November 22, noon-2pm; and the Westbrook Senior Center in Town Hall on Thursday, December 11, 3:30-6.  The Empty Bowls Project belongs to our community!  Stay tuned for news about how to join us as glazers and/or helpers at these sessions.

An Amazing Evening of Glazing

Last night was a magical time in the Westbrook Middle School art room.  Over 90 people attended, many with their families, to glaze bowls for the Empty Bowls Project.  It's hard to find words to describe the energy, kindness, creativity, and joy that filled that room!  So instead of words, check out these photos, stay tuned for information about the next open glazing session, and mark your calendars for our dinner on January 28th!
