Even Dragons Get Hungry!
Wren Watts, community member, loyal postal worker and miniature figurine artist is shifting her focus to bowl making for Empty Bowls Townshend. Wouldn’t you agree, we all need to eat? Even dragons get hungry!
Join Wren at the Meadows Bee Farm Ceramics Studio in the next few weeks and you may make a bowl for Empty Bowls Townshend, too! Leigh Merinoff is waiving fees for those who make an Empty Bowl. Studio is open 5-8 on Wednesdays and Sundays. Come create!
Special thanks go to Wren, not only for making bowls but for also being the point person for drop-off by area artists who are creating bowls in their own studios for Empty Bowls Townshend.
We come together to make and/or select an empty bowl, eat a simple meal, reflect on hunger and support the Townshend Community Food Shelf.
