Pottery Lunch and Learn
Learn to make pottery bowls to help the hungry.
Join us on Sunday, August 10th following worship for our pottery Lunch and Learn. We will make unique pottery bowls to donate to the Suffolk Center for Cultural Arts’ Empty Bowls event to raise money for local hunger relief. No experience is necessary. We will be using white stoneware clay. It's the cleanest dirt you’ll ever play with, so don’t worry about getting your church clothes soiled.
The Lunch and Learn will include a salad and sandwich bar, cookies, chips and drinks. Everyone is invited to attend. You are welcome to invite friends.
Empty Bowls is a global grassroots movement to combat hunger through community-based art events. At The Suffolk Center, this effort supports Suffolk Christian Fellowship Center, a vital local food bank serving over 500 food-insecure households each month- many of whom live in nearby food deserts and face impossible choices between meals, rent, and medication.
🎨Here’s how Empty Bowls works:
Local artists, that’s you, donate hand-crafted bowls
Guests select a bowl to take home
A soup tasting by Arts Kitchen is served
Proceeds help feed families across Suffolk and Western Tidewater
Food insecurity affects approximately 5,600 Suffolk residents. Many are employed but still struggling, part of the growing ALICE population (Asset Limited, Income Constrained, and Employed). For these neighbors, even one good meal can offer relief, dignity, and hope.
