Bring Home Bowls Made by Moorestown Children at Empty Bowl Dinner

Bowls made by children at Moorestown Friends School will be on display during the Friends Enrichment Program of Moorestown’s Empty Bowl Dinner March 29 in the d’Olier Room of Moorestown Friends Meetinghouse, 118 East Main Street.

Under the guidance of David Gamber, a ceramic artist and a Moorestown Friends School art teacher, 16 children between 5 and 13 years old were introduced to the potter’s wheel during the FEP’s annual pottery workshop.

They made and painted clay bowls in the clay studio of Moorestown Friends School.

The bowls will be on display with other bowls, including some made by ceramic artists.

Diners will be able to buy a bowl and a dinner of homemade soup, bread and juice for a freewill donation. There will be a variety of soups to choose from.

There will be two dinner seatings: 5 p.m.-6 p.m. and 6:30 p.m.-7:30 p.m.

From 6 p.m.-6:30 p.m., the Greater South Jersey Chorus will perform in the Meetinghouse under the direction of Ken Ewan.

Proceeds will be shared evenly between the food pantry of Live Civilly and the FEP scholarship fund, which provides scholarships for financially disadvantaged, underserved Moorestown children to attend summer camp, enroll in art classes or sports clinics, and/or take music lessons at no cost to their parents.

To reserve seats at the Empty Bowl Dinner, call Monique Begg at 856-235-3963 or the Meeting Office at 856-235-1561.
