Empty Bowls at YAM Show

March 7th AENJ South held the first Empty Bowls event. It took place during the YAM show held this year at Appel Farm in Elmer NJ. Students who attended the YAM show participated in activities such as painting bisque ware and making bowls from clay slabs. Thanks to Janice Chassier and Diane Driessen for providing the bisque bowls, and to Skeff Thomas for donating the clay. Everyone who participated was really excited about the project and is eager to attend the event which will be held on March 18th 2011.
