The Ceramics Department of the New Hampshire Institute of Art in Manchester, NH holds a Bowl Sale every year. This event is a fundraiser for the department, and funds raised this year will go towards a student trip to the 2018 National Council on Educations for the Ceramic Arts (NCECA) Conference. All bowls are $20 each; the bowls are handcrafted by NHIA students and faculty.
I managed to make it there on Tuesday afternoon and was excited to see the variety of beautiful crafted bowls available for purchase! This event was originally scheduled to be held on Tuesday through Thursday of this week, but the snowstorm forced the school to cancel Wednesday and Thursdays sale dates. If you missed the chance to get there on Tuesday, NHIA is opening the bowl sale all day on Friday, March 9th. The sale will take place from 8:30am – 5:00pm at 77 Amherst Street in Manchester, NH.
Scroll below to check out the beautiful bowl I picked up! The students on hand staffing the sale told me this bowl was made by one of their faculty members, and in their opinion it was a STEAL at $20. It’s really lovely and I’m so glad I took the time to go. I think these would make great birthday/hostess/holiday gifts. I’ll definitely be marking my calendar and going next year as well!
