Paper Mache Bowl Making in Daytona for World Food Day Fundraiser


The Fair Share Garden will be hosting a fundraiser for World Food Day in October. We are raising funds for our garden where we demonstrate how organic and sustainable growing methods and share the harvest.

Every Thursday at at 5pm we are gathering to make paper mache bowls at the Lions Club in Daytona Beach (345 White St) for our World Food Day event on October 16th when we are hosting our 'Empty Bowls' event.

About Empty Bowls from Wikipedia: “Empty Bowls” is an international project to fight hunger, personalized by artists and art organizations on a community level. “Empty Bowls” allows participating artists and groups to create and donate bowls, then serve a simple meal. Guests choose a bowl to use that day and to keep as a reminder of all the empty bowls in the world



Bring a bowl for a mold and newspapers or phone books etc. Bring a snack to share if you want to! Kids welcome with parents. No previous experience is necessary. You can RSVP on our Fair Share meetup calender.

Feel Free to Get creative with us too. Do you know a techinque that we don't know and want to share? Come teach us! Look at the amazing bowls you can make with recycled paper. I would love to learn. This bowl was make by SewDanish from my Unique Women in Business network.

What a wonderful idea. Good luck with your project. I wish, I was just around the corner, so that I could have taught you how to make the woven bowls. They are so much fun to make and I love that humble recycled news paper can be turned into something really lovely.
