The Potter's Choice Auction

Our Potter’s Choice Online Auction is now live, featuring handcrafted bowls available until Wednesday, Nov. 12, at 10:00 p.m. 

Each unique bowl, whether used for dining or as a decorative piece, carries a deeper meaning — a reminder that even a simple meal can bring people together and create a lasting impact within our community. 

This year, our Potter’s Choice Online Auction highlights an exceptional selection chosen specifically for their artistry and appeal. By participating in this auction, you’re not just placing a bid; you’re making a difference. Every bid supports neighbors facing food insecurity, helping us work toward a more nourished and connected community.

Thanks to Our Potter Partners

GLFB thanks our friends at Clayworks and Greater Lansing Potters’ Guild for lending their creativity to the fight against hunger!

This year’s standout creations were hand-selected by expert artisans to be featured in the Potter’s Choice Auction.

Both local cooperatives offer classes, pottery shows & sales, and memberships for makers to explore the ceramic arts.
