Loving Bowls
Loving Bowls will be take place in a new way this year! Loving Bowls is a special project wherein volunteer potters from around the Sedona area create over 1500 bowls each year and sell them to benefit 5 local non-profits including the Sedona Food Bank, the Meals on Wheels program at the Sedona Community Center and the educational programming at the Sedona Arts Center. This year will also benefit the Verde Valley Sanctuary and the Humane Society of Sedona. Rather than the traditional large gathering of people on a Saturday in December, this year, starting on June 5th, the Gallery will be selling the bowls all year long at the traditional price of $10 each. Special larger Salad Bowls will be available for $50.
