Potters from Dept. of Art + Design Sell Hand-Crafted Bowls for Charity
West Chester University Art + Design professors, students and alums will come together for a good cause from May 10 – 12, when hand-crafted bowls will be sold from 3 – 6 p.m. outside in the M Lot parking lot, between the E.O. Bull Center for the Arts and the Swope Music Building and Performing Arts Center, 817 S. High Street, West Chester.
A who’s who of West Chester affiliated artists is creating the one-of-a kind works of art including: John Baker, Professor Emeritus and WCU Alum, Andrew Snyder, Associate Professor of Ceramics, Samantha Diamond, Adjunct Ceramics Professor and WCU Alum, Maya Wasileski, WCU Senior, Sophia Carroll, WCU Junior, and Susan Bankert, Ceramics Instructor at Historic Yellow Springs, Eva Hozinez, WCU Alum and clay tech for Wayne Art Center.
The one-of-a-kind bowls, thrown on a pottery wheel and fired in a kiln, will include
hand-made chopsticks and a package of ramen. All proceeds from the $35 bowls will
benefit Safe Harbor of Chester County, a local non-profit that provides housing, food,
and access to support services for homeless single men and women in Chester County.
Andrew Snyder says, “This has become an annual tradition of sorts for the Art + Design
Department. Last year didn’t happen, but we’re happy to be back and supporting Safe
Harbor, a local organization so vital to our community, and at a time when there are
many needy people in our community. We invite all members of the WCU and surrounding
communities to come support this cause and walk away with a beautiful bowl and a package
of ramen to boot.”
