Do you have experience turning a ball or slab of clay into a bowl?
If the answer is yes, please continue reading.
Indian River Clay will be opening its studio to potters for the purpose of making bowls for the Samaritan Center’s 2025 Soup Bowl, traditionally held the first Thursday in November.
The goal is to donate 1,000 bowls to the Samaritan Center, which sells them to raise money for its transitional housing facility for homeless families in Indian River County.
Indian River Clay is a non-profit ceramic arts studio at 1239 16th St., Vero Beach.
All wheel throwers and hand builders are welcome to make bowls. Registration is not required. Clay and glazes will be provided, but potters are asked to bring their own tools. Bowls will need to be at least five inches in diameter after being bisqued.
The community potter weekends for making bowls are:

If you’re not a potter, but you would like to donate money to help cover the cost of materials and firings needed to produce bowls, please go to www.indianriverclay.org. Once there, choose “Make A Donation” on the homepage and don’t forget to add a note during payment to designate the donation is for the Soup Bowl project.
The Soup Bowl raises money for the Samaritan Center’s transitional housing program in Indian River County. This program for homeless families equips them for independent living. During their stay, which averages six to nine months, families receive secure housing, case management, educational services, and access to community resources in a supportive environment. For more information, please contact the Samaritan Center at 772-770-3039.
