Seattle Empty Bowls set for March 13
Tue, 03/08/2016
Join Seattle Empty Bowls for this beloved event on Sunday, March 13th at the Nordic Heritage Museum (3014 NW 67th Street) in Ballard from 4 p.m.–7 p.m. All proceeds will benefit Ballard Food Bank.
Seattle Empty Bowls is a fundraiser with artisan flair and a big heart for community. Local artists craft bowls of various materials, shapes, sizes, and textures specifically with this event in mind, donating their time, energy, and materials. Empty Bowls attendees choose a bowl, and can have their bowl filled with a soup of their choice (suggested donation is $20 for most bowls and that includes a scoop of soup, and bread). The bowl is yours to take home. Most of the bowls will be ceramic, but Seattle Empty Bowls is unique because of the involvement of local woodturners as well. Soups, including vegan options, will be provided by Ballard Market, and artisan bread will be on hand from Tall Grass Bakery. Coffee will be served up by Ballard’s own Caffe Umbria. Enjoy the soup and your new bowl alongside community members while enjoying entertainment throughout the evening. Care to make a bid? A silent auction table of specialty bowls will be available too.
