28 Kids Make Bowls For Moorestown FEP Empty Bowl Dinner

MOORESTOWN, NJ - A total of 28 people with ties to the Friends Enrichment Program of Moorestown Meeting (FEP), participated in the FEP annual pottery workshop in the art studio of Moorestown Friends School, under the leadership of ceramic teacher David Gamber

Assisted by his son and Moorestown Friends School senior Elijah Gamber, Gamber dug into clay with hands and fingers and went on to demonstrate how the malleability of this earthly material lends itself to the creation of all kinds of objects, some utilitarian, others purely decorative.

Before long, participants began making bowls that, when finished, were as unique as their creators. Among the participants were six adults, all digging into the clay with as much enthusiasm as the kids.

The workshop was open to all FEP children and their families, friends of FEP, and members of the Friends community.

The day’s assignment was to make bowls for the FEP Empty Bowl Dinner. An event open to the public, free of charge, the dinner will take place on Sunday, March 10, 4 p.m. to 6 p.m., in the Friends Meetinghouse.

Freewill donations will be accepted and the proceeds will help defray the cost of enrichment scholarships for financially disadvantaged Moorestown children. Reservations are advised.

FEP runs a program of school-year activities open to all FEP scholarship recipients and young friends of FEP. For more information about FEP or to make reservations for the Empty Bowl Dinner, call Monique Begg at 856-235-3963.
