Join us for "Woven Bowl Wednesdays" in the Clay Shop...

On February 5^th, Brookwood Artist Amy, Work Program Teachers Warren and Leticia, and Production Manager Peggy helped make woven bowls.  Below are some pictures from that day...

We have quite the assembly line on "Woven Bowl Wednesday!"

It really helps to have extra people help on "Woven Bowl Wednesdays" because our woven bowls are very popular!  They are great for keeping bread or rolls warm without becoming soggy, and may be placed in the oven on warm.  

On the day these pictures were taken, we set a new record of creating 27 woven bowls!  Then this past Wednesday, we broke that record, making 31 woven bowls!!  WOW!!!

The Clay Shop welcomes additional help on "Woven Bowl Day".  Please contact Peggy at Peggyh@brookwoodcommunity.org or at 281-375-2134 or Ceramics Teacher April at Ceramics@brookwoodcommunity.org or at 281-375-2131 if you are interested in helping our citizens create these wonderful bowls.

GREAT WORK EVERYONE!
