The SOUPer Bowl 2025-Image Gallery
The journey began with a Maker Bee at Clayworx, where attendees came together to volunteer their time and skills to make the bowls. Once formed, the bowls were finished, glazed, and decorated, transforming each one into a unique piece of functional art.
On October 9, 2025, we celebrated the inaugural SOUPer Bowl! It was a wonderful day filled with creativity, connection, and community
