Sponsor Empty Bowls 2026
The Empty Bowls sale means masses of clay, working equipment, two kiln firings per item, gas, electricity, glaze, and staff time techs. It is an extremely expensive undertaking. The help of sponsors makes the sale possible. Business sponsors and individual donors are vital to Empty Bowls’ success and are greatly appreciated. Thank you!
