On this one very special evening, donated bowls from some of Vancouver’s fantastic pottery artists are going to be up for sale by donation with all proceeds going towards Backpack Buddies, a great program that feeds over 400 kids in inner city schools each week. Expect decorative and functional and jazzy bowls, oh my! This is the perfect opportunity to pick up a present or two, or maybe a bowl for yourself. Oh, and did I mention it’s being held at Cartems at Main and 6th. Donut up!

  1. Hi Folks!
    Elly from Empty Bowls Vancouver here! Just a quick correction to the article, the pieces are all actually priced between $5-$20 so it’s not entirely pay what you can for any of the bowls, but you’ll definitely be able to pick something up and support the cause no matter what your budget is!
