Empty Bowls Project

Empty Bowls events provide a means to raise both money and awareness about poverty and hunger in our communities. Volunteer local professional potters are the driving force behind this event, volunteering their time and energy to create soup bowls which are donated to Sensational Elora, enabling fund-raising to combat food insecurity in Centre Wellington.

Bowls will be available at the Sensational Soup Off to be held on Thanksgiving Monday, October 14th, 2024, at Aboyne Hall. When you arrive at the Soup Off you will have an opportunity to choose from a fabulous selection of handcrafted bowls.

The Sensational Soup Off is an annual event where up to 18 professional, amateur and youth chefs will compete to become the “Super Souper” of 2024. Use your empty bowl to sample all of the soups and then cast your ballot for your favourites. At the end of the event, your bowl will be rinsed for you and your Empty Bowl is yours to take home.

Thank you to Our 2024 bowl makers:
Vickie Braden, Colibri Pottery (Claudia Lambert), Jillian Dempster,  Elora Pottery (Staci Barron), Murray Fox,  Gleason Brook Pottery (Tim Smith) and Lynn Gorwill.

Thank you to The Pottery Supply House & Tucker’s Pottery Supplies for contributing gift certificates (or clay) to the potters annually.
