Empty Bowls - Dallas - 2007
Inspired by the Dallas area Potters, DAW members have been contributing turned wood bowls to the Empty Bowls project
for the last five years. The Dallas event was held at the Meyerson
Symphony Hall. All of the proceeds go to
buy food for the North Texas Food Bank. Guests 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 $50 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.
The total for Dallas Empty Bowls 2007 was $90,000.
DAW members turned approximately 160 wood bowls for the 2007 Dallas
Empty Bowls Project
