Filling the Bowl | Bold Life
It starts with a lump of clay thrown onto Travis Berning’s wheel. Shaped, sanded, glazed, and fired for a total of 19 hours, it emerges as a work of art. But this bowl won’t be showcased in a gallery. The vessel will continue a legacy set by a group of Michigan high-school students in 1990. Their goal? Serve soup in simple ceramic bowls to remind guests of the hunger that millions of Americans experience daily.
This year, Berning and 20-plus other participating potters will craft handmade bowls

Temples, Temples, and More Temples (Beyond Seoul)
I adore visiting temples in Korea. Their deep spirituality can be felt immediately when you enter through the temple gates.
