Indian River Clay is participating in the 2019 Soup Bowl Project to benefit the Samaritan Center. We will have our own event on Thursday, November 7, from10 AM to 4 PM at the Studio with sales of our bowls that are made on site along with home-made soup served up the same day. While this event will be in September, we will all be in the studio in August making our bowls. Traditionally, the bowls are thrown on the wheel, but wait! What if you don't use the wheel?? We are offering a hand building soup bowl workshop so those of you who don't throw on the wheel can still participate and make beautiful hand-built bowls that will rival the wheel thrown bowls.
