Empty Bowls

This afternoon, I went to ClayWays to make some bowls for the Empty Bowl Project - which is always the Sunday before Thanksgiving here in Austin, held last year and this fall (its 13th year!) at the Mexican American Cultural Center on River Street downtown.

No, they didn't put me in front of a wheel - they're way too smart for that. But I did make some pretty cute bowls to raise some money for the Capital Area Food Bank. And they sent me home with this 25 pound hunk of clay - to make more at home! Yippeee! I will be posting pictures of the bowls as they are formed.

I can't wait. Only 198 days to go. And I'll be performing there at some point in the afternoon, so be sure to swing by, pick a bowl, pick a soup, and listen to great local music. And by great, I mean me. Just kidding, folks, KIDDING...gosh!
