Empty Bowls

My wife has recently been making pottery at the Foelber Pottery Gallery & Studio here in the Montrose in Houston.  She's made some really nice beautiful things.  You have to admit there is an extra level of satisfaction when you make things yourself (and they work!).   She will be donating a work or two of hers for the 8th Annual Empty Bowls event which benefits the Houston Food Bank.  If you're in Houston and have the opportunity, please come by.
