I recently wrote about artists giving back to the community through the Empty Bowls program. Since then I have learned more about the program here in Loveland.
Several teachers contribute to this project, including art teachers Becky Fuchs and Anne McManus and French teacher Torie Fox. About 250 bowls are made by students at our local elementary, middle and high schools. In addition, professional potters contribute bowls.
All the bowls are auctions as a fund raiser for the Larimer County Food Bank.
In addition to this project, another elementary school's art teacher Tom Studholme says his students make 150-200 bowls. Van Buren Elementary holds an annual Empty Bowls soup dinner. They have been making bowls as a fundraiser for the Loveland non-profit House of Neighborly Service for 14 years!
