Make an Empty Bowl to Fight Hunger — Group Pottery Sessions at Deep Creek Pottery
Deep Creek Pottery 1550 Deep Creek Drive (back side of The Fort), McHenry, MD, United StatesLooking for a fun group activity that also helps the community? Deep Creek Pottery invites you to gather your friends, coworkers, or club and make an empty bowl to help fight hunger in Garrett County. Gather a group of at least 6 people. Cost is $10-$15 per person. Set up a time that works for your group, and bring snacks and wine if you'd like. Make a bowl using pinch, coil, or slab techniques under the guidance of a skilled potter -- or paint an already-fired bowl with help from the instructor. Your bowls will be fired, finished, and donated to the Empty Bowls Dinner this fall, which raises funds to fight food insecurity in Garrett County. Go home knowing your group did something good for the community while having fun together. The Empty Bowls Dinner will be held on September 20, 2026, at Wisp Resort for the benefit of Garrett County Community Action Food Security Programs. To schedule your group, contact Deep Creek Pottery, 1550 Deep Creek Drive, McHenry, MD. Call 301-501-1619 or email deepcreekpottery@gmail.com. UNTIL AUGUST 31
