Ceramic Throw Down AND Paint-a-Bowl 12/29 at Fuller Park

By

Watch artists throw ceramic bowls, learn about Fuller Park’s Ceramics Programs, AND Paint-a-Bowl for Kingfield’s Empty Bowls Event!

On Saturday, December 29, from noon until 3pm, several artists will throw bowls at Fuller Park (4802 Grand Ave S) as we prepare for our annual event. Come and learn about ceramics and watch some great talent at work!

Also, we will have completed bowls, made by other local artists, that are in need of painting. This is a free, fun activity for the whole family – we provide the glaze, you provide your artistic vision (or just sponge it). All are welcome, and no experience is needed; recommended for ages 6 and up (ages under 12 must be accompanied by an adult); one bowl per person. Plus, we will have free popcorn and hot cocoa!

Your artwork will be on display at the 2019 Kingfield Empty Bowls Event, February 7th, at MLK Park (4055 Nicollet Ave S) benefiting Nicollet Square which provides housing and support for young adults who have experienced homelessness or been in the foster care system.
