Bowl project April 2020
We wanted to do something to help during the Covid 19 Crisis.
So Bruce decided to make 100 bowls to sell and we would give all the proceeds to the Second Harvest Food Bank. After discussions with DeMilles Farm Market in Salmon Arm, it was agreed they would have the bowls available at their Market for a suggested $20 donation.
It was all coming together.
Ready for the bisque firing

We entered into negotiations with The Shuswap Community Foundation and The Second Harvest Food bank to receive sponsorship for the material costs for another 500 bowls.
Back into full production. Produce 500 bowls as quickly as possible to raise an additional $10,000, for Second Harvest Food Bank.
