Empty Bowl Donations 2025!

I’ve spent the past few months working on my donation bowls for our local Empty Bowl fundraiser in September. I signed up to make fifty bowls, and it was a daunting thought at first for me, as I also didn’t just want to throw a bunch of boring bowls and glaze them boring-ly.

Then I realized I could aim for ten-ish bowls in five different themes that I tend to use in my usual work!

So I ended up with monarch butterflies:

and existential crisis frogs:

Whew, I think I’m finally ready!

They’re all amazing and what an achievement. So many bowls! I hope they raise lots and lots of money for the cause. Existential crisis frog is still my fave, but any would have an honored place in my kitchen!
