76 People from all over Bennington came on August 26






















The Glazing Party was abuzz with creativity on August 26th! Four hundred plus bowls were glazed in the intimate quarters of the ceramic studio of Grace Christian School. The pictures show even Kasha the dog got into the gathering. As the Chairs of this event can attest we hardly expected 76 people from all over Bennington to gather - people of all ages. Ice cream sundaes were served under a canopy just outside the back door. Sanders were sanding, glazers were glazing and so many people and organizations helped. Stewarts Ice Cream Shoppes donated all the sundae makings. After the clean-up the three chairs sighed a huff of relief and gratitude for all the help, especially from Patty Herzfeld the Art Instructor for the School. A special thanks from Lisa Flynn, Patty Foley-Hess and Michelle Peattie, the chairs of this event, goes out to the whole Committee for Empty Bowls events, to all the volunteers (those in yellow T-shirts and a group of community outreach leaders from Bennington College), and to everyone who participated.
