This is not new news, but since I just started the VanGo Pottery Blog, I thought I’d share some “old news” with you. In September of 2007, we had the opportunity to co-sponsor the first annual St. Mary’s Food Bank Empty Bowls event. On September 13th, we, along with several local VIPs and celebrities, showed up at St. Mary’s Food Bank in Phoenix for a day of pottery painting fun. Each painter chose their favorite shaped bowl, and let their creativity be their guide. Once all the bowls were painted, we took them to our studio to be glazed and fired. On October 19th, 2007, the bowls were auctioned off at the Flagstaff Mall with the proceeds benefiting the Food Bank in Flagstaff. Some of the celebrities we had the pleasure of working with included: 3TV’s (http://www.azfamily.com/) Suzanne Bissett, Scott Pasmore, and Dan Davis; KPHO CBS 5’s (http://www.kpho.com/index.html) Diana Sullivan; as well as Arizona icon Pat McMahon (http://news.ktar.com/?sid=616174&nid=244), and Roger Clyne of Roger Clyne and the Peacemakers (http://www.azpeacemakers.com/).
Everyone had a great time creating their masterpieces and the fundraiser was a wonderful success.
