Q: Why do you support Brenham Empty Bowls and the Brazos Valley Food Bank?
Doug: “This one’s an easy one. I’m a Potter. I make bowls and there’s need.”
INSIDER INFORMATION
Look closely at that bowl! 👀
Doug is holding one of his famous “Chopsticks Bowls.” The indentations on the rim are a special feature he includes on these to hold chopsticks in place. It really comes in handy when you’re eating a bowl of ramen noodles! These are in high demand but we have several this year. Hurry in to get yours!
Bowls are also being handcrafted by the art students of Savannah Nichols who teaches with Brenham Independent School District
and has helped with many other Empty Bowls projects before.
Thank you to Ms. Nichols and these wonderful young artists who are supporting our community!
Quote from a Sculpture Club Officer: “I am making bowls, because I’ve seen people who need help trying to get food or shelter. It makes me feel sad that some people are living in the streets looking for food or money. What I like about the empty bowls project is that they are a group and they can do far more together than just 1 person trying to change the world. I’m inspired to make bowls, because my dad was a single parent with 3 young kids and he was struggling to take care of us, but we always had food on the table no matter what. All of his hard work has paid off and continues to pay off. I look forward to helping people in the same situation my dad was in.” Isabella Romero
