WSU and Saint Mary’s University art students and area potters are collaborating with local restaurants and bakeries to offer bread and soup in handmade pottery bowls. Adults donate $12, students $8 for lunch and a pottery bowl they can keep. All donated funds go to the Winona Volunteer Services Food Shelf.

In addition to WSU and SMU students, local ceramic artists Chuck Aydlett, Charley Campbell, Marilyn Klinker, Mike Knox, Michelle Maslowski, Anne Scott Plummer, Lynette Power and Teresa Schumaker have produced more than 250 wheel-thrown and hand-built stoneware bowls.

There will also be a selection of ceramic pieces offered for silent auction. Area restaurants donating homemade soup and bread are Beno’s, the Blue Heron, Chartwells, Good Harvest, Signatures, and Bread and Bagel.
