What is Empty Bowls?20 years ago, the Food Bank for Larimer County’s Empty Bowls fundraiser began in art class at Lopez Elementary School when the school’s art teacher inspired his students to create empty bowls to represent those who didn’t have enough to eat. Since then, area artists have worked together to support the event and the fight against hunger in the community. Empty Bowls has grown from offering five signature soups in 1998 to over twenty soups in 2016 and has raised $775,000 for the Food Bank’s hunger-relief programs.

Where do we come in?Every year NAHS in conjunction with Mrs. Lemmons' pottery classes strive to make at least 200 bowls to donate to the event. One way we do this is by hosting our annual Throwdown event. We invite people from our school and local community to come into our pottery studio and create bowls for this awesome event. There are stations for hand-building, throwing on the wheel and glazing. We provide snacks and entertainment and help everyone have fun creating art.
