Sunday March 5, 12-4PM. Calling all artists and the artistically inclined! You are invited to come to the Gallery at Spencer Lofts to paint and decorate ceramic bowls and mugs, which will be provided for you along with brushes and glazes by the Chelsea Hunger Network. Participation is free.

The bowls will be fired at Salem State for us as a public service, and the finished wares will be donated for sale at a silent auction on April 20 at the 6th Annual Chelsea "Empty Bowls" event (see link below for venue). Proceeds go to food pantries and a soup kitchen in Chelsea. Participants at the 6th Annual Chelsea Empty Bowls event on April 20 will choose a bowl and their choice of great soups, chowder, and chili, as well as Toscanni ice cream (new this year) for only $20 (advance-purchase tickets; $25 at door). (Note: the auction is a part of the 6th Annual Chelsea Empty Bowls event.)

Be in touch with Darlene DeVita (darla500@mac.com) or Maryellen Cahill (cahill005@comcast.net) with questions or to RSVP.
