Empty Bowls 2005

Empty Bowls - Dallas - 2005
Inspired by the Dallas area Potters, DAW members have been contributing turned wood bowls to the Empty Bowls project for the last four years. Over 1500 ceramic and wood bowls were available in 2005. The total for Dallas and Ft Worth was 3500 bowls and $110,000 raised for the food banks. The Dallas event was held at the Meyerson Symphony Hall and Patrons contributed $25 for a meal of gourmet soups, breads, and deserts supplied by top Dallas chefs. In addition they got to choose one bowl to take home. They had the option to trade up for an extra $5 to $15 for a bowl from a table of nicer pieces. Or they could compete with others in bidding to trade up for a very nice piece from the Silent Auction table.

In 2004, Empty Bowls raised approximately $51,000 for the North Texas Food Bank. As soon as the amount for 2005 is available, it will be announced here.
