Empty Bowls
For years, my wife and I have supported the great work done by food banks where we've lived. Here in Asheville, we have a huge Empty Bowls lunch and dinner sponsored by Manna Food Bank, many local potters, and local businesses. Lisa Blackburn and John Hartom's wonderful idea has spread all over the country and the world. If you're not familiar with Empty Bowls, please check it out at www.emptybowls.net.
Since I'm now making stamps for potters, I'm happy to provide custom stamps for Empty Bowls projects at a fraction of the normal cost. The special price is just $10.00 each including first class mail shipping in the USA ($15.00 outside the USA). The stamps are limited to 1/2 square inch in size and include a handle and a protective pouch.
Here's a link to some Empty Bowls stamp designs -- emptybowls.pdf. Feel free to adapt one of these for your group's stamp or email me a new design. It's your choice whether or not to include the year, but the idea behind showing the year is to make Empty Bowls even more collectible.
These stamps are intended for use on Empty Bowls projects. We do not customize them for an individual or a for-profit company.
