Invitation to Pottersempty bowls

Empty Bowls would not be possible without
the willingness of potters to donate their time,
talent, and resources to make the bowls. We
offer complimentary meal tickets as a token of
our appreciation for your gift. Please consider
one of the following levels of participation:

Sun— 100+ bowls (8 tickets)
Fire— 50-99 bowls (6 tickets)
Wind— 20-49 bowls (4 tickets)
Earth— 5-19 bowls (2 tickets)

We accept bowls any time of the year for our next event. We request all bowls be completed by February 15th and will contact you regarding pick-up arrangements. Your donation will be acknowledged on table tents at the event, in a public thank you ad published in the Leader Telegram, Chippewa Herald, in our newsletter, and on our website.

For High School Participants
We realize it may not be in your budget to provide donated bowls. If you need financial assistance with supplies, please contact us.

For Professional Potters
It may be a tax advantage for you to donate money for us to use to purchase your bowls. Please let us know if this is your preference. If donating bowls or money is not an option for you, please contact us if you would consider selling us bowls at low cost. You may also attach your business card to each bowl you donate. Potters donating 100 bowls or more will be listed in a press release.

For more information, call Emily at 715.835.9415.
