Join us for the 2024 Potters' Throwdown!
January 12, 2024, 5-8pm
Craven Arts Council & Gallery and Religious Community Services are proud to present the Annual Potters’ Throwdown and Souper Bowl on January 12th, from 5pm to 8pm at the Harrison Center in downtown New Bern. This annual event features potters racing to complete as many bowls as possible in one hour and grade school students competing for best soup, all in support of Empty Bowls New Bern.
Officially kicking off at 5:30pm, this year’s potters will attempt to throw 150 bowls in one hour. Bowls created will later be fired and glazed to be donated to the Empty Bowls New Bern event. The Potter’s Throwdown will be at the Harrison Center and viewers will be able to come inside and watch as each potter races towards the finish line. At 6:30 pm the Souper Bowl will begin. Middle school and high school students will offer soup samples in a culinary competition Souper Bowl, judged by local chefs and community leaders. Admission to all Throwdown events is free and open to the public. The Potters’ Throwdown is organized by the Empty Bowls New Bern committee, and all proceeds from the event benefit Religious Community Services and Craven Arts Council. |
