By NATALIE JOHNSON
This spring, the Empty Bowls pro-
gram will help fill empty bowls and
hungry mouths in Mason County.
Now in its sixth year, the Empty
Bowls program, put on by the city of
Shelton Parks and Recreation Depart-
ment and the Shelton Arts Commis-
sion invites locals to spend three nights
creating and enjoying unique works of
art at the Shelton Civic Center.
"It's done all over the place really
... the original concept is that artists
produce bowls, and then the general
public come and make a donation
or through an auction purchase the
bowls," parks and recreation manager
Mark Ziegler said. "Our arts commis-
sion really wanted to get people in-
volved in a hands on art project."
On the first day of the project, from
5 to 7 p.m. on March 16 at the civic
center, the parks department and arts
commission will provide clay free of
charge to anyone who wants to come
and make a bowl.
"They're given a lump of clay, and
there's a few different techniques and
they're really easy, you're not on a
wheel or anything- it's all hand build-
ing," Ziegler said. "There's a pinch pot
where you start with a ball of clay and
with your fingers you just sort of pinch
it, you can do a coil where you kind of
roll it out and stack it on top of each
other, or you can use an existing bowl
and kind of mold it around it."
After two weeks, giving arts com-
mission volunteer Glen Helen a chance
to dry and fire all of the bowls, people
are invited to come back and-paint
their bowls from 5 to 7 p.m. on March
30, at the civic center.
After another two weeks, on April
13, the bowls will be done, and anyone
can come and with a suggested dona-
tion of $10, take their bowl, or an un-
claimed one, and eat soup and bread
donated by local restaurants: Ste-
vens, Xinh's Clam and Oyster House,
Vern's,and the Olympic Bakery.
All the proceeds, Ziegler said, go to
the Saint's Pantry Food Bank in Shel-
ton.
Ziegler said that absolutely every-
one is welcome and able to participate
in the project.
"From toddlers to seniors, we have
full families and daycares that bring
kids down," he said. "So anybody with
any ability. It's really easy and if you
mess up you start all over again."
Aider five years of doing the project,
Ziegler said the city has raised $5,000
for the food bank.
"Last year was our biggest year," he
said. We were probably in the 130 to
140 range so we probably had close to
200 bowls."
Ziegler said that everyone can make
a bowl for themselves, and usually
there are extra for people who only
come on the last day.
No sign up is required. For more in-
formation call 432-5194.

Shelton Cinemas presents
free show to help SOC K
On Sunday, March 13,
Shelton Spiritual Cinema
will show the full-length
film, "Being in Heaven,"
said Bob Bottman, who is
showing the film.
"This film is basically
a dinner conversation be-
tween the two main char-
acters: Michael Rowland,
Australia's most successful
self-development author
and Jason Masterman,
young man in need of a
life change," Bottman said.
He explained that, during
the conversation, Rowland
guides Masterman through
practical, powerful steps to
access his innate talents
and abilities. During this
process, Jason discovers
how to free himself from
the web of his past and
find the path to an extraor'-
dinary future, Bottman
said. "Through the Jason
Masterman character the
audience is invited to gain
the same knowledge and
discover similar insights,
Bottman added. "Being in
Heaven" has the potential
to literally change lives."
"Being in Heaven" will
be shown starting at 11
a.m. on Sunday, March 13
at the Shelton Cinemas,
517 W. Franklin Street,
Shelton. There is no charge
for admission, but dona-
tions are welcome and ap-
preciated. All proceeds
benefit SOCK's (Save Our
County's Kids) youth pro-
grams in Shelton. For more
details about the movie or
