St. Petersburg College Ceramics<\/a>\u00a0faculty and students, along with local business partner Highwater Clays, are putting on an Empty Bowls luncheon November 3, 2018 from 11 a.m. \u2013 2 p.m. to benefit\u00a0RCS Pinellas<\/a>.<\/p>\n The luncheon will feature soup served in bowls made by SPC students, faculty, and local artists. Attendees will choose a bowl, and enjoy a meal of soup, bread and dessert. The bowl is yours to take home as a reminder of all the empty bowls in the world.<\/p>\n Through this event we are helping our ceramics students to see that they can make positive change through their art and make a big impact in their local community. Empty Bowls began in 1990 in Bloomfield Hills, Mich., where John Hartom, a high school teacher, his wife Lisa, and his students wanted to support a local food drive. One year later Empty Bowls developed into a project to support food banks, soup kitchens, and other organizations fighting hunger. John and Lisa formed the Imagine\/Render group as a nonprofit organization to promote Empty Bowls.<\/p>\n Over the next 20 plus years, Empty Bowls has spread across the United States and other parts of the world.\u00a0Last year\u2019s event<\/a>\u00a0at the SPC Clearwater Campus raised more than $3,000 for RCS. This year we would like to raise significantly more!<\/p>\n We invite you to attend this fundraiser event.
