Empty Bowls
We are happy to be together again for our annual Empty Bowls event here at John C. Campbell Folk School. We are excited to continue this tradition and raise awareness about hunger in our communities. All profits from the event will benefit food banks that serve Clay and Cherokee counties: the Sharing Center in Murphy, Matt’s Ministry, Cherokee County Food Bank, and Clay County Food Pantry. The 2023 event generated $14,000, and we hope to raise even more this year.
Schedule:
4-5 p.m. – Stop by the craft shop for their 15% off sale on all pottery!
5 p.m. – Doors open in the Community Room for bowl preview, selection, and brown bag raffle.
6 p.m. – Dinner served in the Dining Hall.
6:15 p.m. – Additional bowls and raffle tickets will be available for sale.
6:45 p.m. – Brown Bag Raffle winners are announced.
Tickets are $50.00 and available for purchase April 22nd! Admission includes soup, salad, bread, beverage, and a handmade bowl.
Special thanks to all the artists for donating their bowls.
