After a nearly two-year hiatus, 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 2019 event generated $11,000, and we hope to raise even more this year.

Arriving early? Stop by the Craft Shop before the event and enjoy 15% off one item with your Empty Bowls ticket.

Schedule:

5 p.m. – Doors open in the Festival Barn for bowl selection! Enjoy live music, a wheel-throwing demonstration and grab your beverage. Brown bag raffle tickets will be available for sale.
6 p.m. – Dinner served in the Festival Barn
6:15 p.m. – Additional bowls and raffle tickets will be available for sale
6:45 p.m.- Brown Bag Raffle winners are announced

The Folk School is proud to partner with Perrone’s Neighborhood Grill and The Crown Brasstown for this event.

Tickets are $40.00 and available for purchase today! Admission includes soup, salad, bread, beverage, and a handmade bowl.

Special thanks to all the artists for donating their bowls.
