91ֱ��

More than 600 bowls and mugs were sold at the Empty Mugs fundraiser earlier this month, thanks to 91ֱ��’s Pottery Co-op and community volunteers who supplied the hand-sculpted pieces. 

Creating the mugs for the event involves many hours, but the end result is the gift that keeps giving. All proceeds are donated to the 91ֱ�� Community Services, which provides local residents with access to utilities, food, and housing. This year, sales from Empty Mugs raised more than $8,000 for the local organization.

Helen Schrayer ’22 has been involved in the Pottery Co-op since her first year at 91ֱ��. In fact, “it was a big part of why I decided to come to 91ֱ�� College,” she says. 

“This tradition is great because it increases co-op camaraderie and student engagement with 91ֱ�� Community Services,” says Schrayer. “It's hard to tell how many students donated pieces,” explains Schrayer. “But our top student potter made 150 mugs and bowls. Most active co-op members donated at least a few pots.”

We continue our photo tour with stops along the Fall Art Walk; find a carpet seat at Bassoon Christmas; make a graceful Fall Forward; find pitch in Fairchild Chapel; perform community service at OCS; and end with a gift of service.
