In addition to beautiful bowls, there will be wheel throwing demos organized by the CU Potters Club, paint your own pottery organized by Laura Billimack of the Pottery Place in Champaign, and in response to frequent requests, a Bowl Boutique, with larger bowls and bowl sets!

While we won’t be able to serve soup on site this year, Common Ground Food Co-op is generously donating coupons for $2 off their delicious assortment of soups!

New Location for 2026

Lincoln Square Mall - Hallway outside Common Ground Food Co-Op

We have sincerely enjoyed and appreciated the support and sponsorship of Silvercreek Restaurant hosting our event over the years, but to better accommodate the overwhelming support from the community we have made a few changes to the event, specifically, the location.
