The pottery is for a March 12 fundraiser that helps ResourceWest and ICA Foodshelf.
City council members, city attorneys and school administrators are all experts at building better communities. That doesn’t make them expert potters, though.

People from all over the community first get together for bowl-making events. In our case, Hopkins High School art instructor Terry Chamberlain’s pottery students ensured we didn’t mess up too bad (although one of us did have a memorable failure). Empty Bowls then takes place …
