Make the Bowls That Bring This Event to Life

Every Empty Bowls event starts with clay — and the hands that shape it. Bowl making sessions are where those first pieces come to life, created by local potters and community members working side by side.

You don’t need to be an experienced potter to take part. These relaxed, hands-on sessions are welcoming to all skill levels, and Yada Yada Pottery will guide participants through several simple hand-building techniques.

 

During the session, you may:

• Hand-build a bowl from clay

• Learn slab, pinch pot, or coil techniques

• Add texture and personal touches to your bowl

• Work alongside experienced potters who can help along the way

Sessions are $10 per person and include instruction and materials. Whether you're trying pottery for the first time or returning to a favorite hobby, we'd love to have you join us.

​

Each bowl created during these sessions will later be glazed at a community glazing night and donated to Empty Bowls Mt. Dora, where it will become a meaningful keepsake for someone attending the event.
