“In a city with so many great museums, the one that most frequently surprises me is the Fowler Museum on the UCLA campus, whose collection display is also dense with Yoruba woodcarvings, Alaskan headdresses and Haitian ceramics. It began as a modest basement display of ‘ethnic arts and technology,’ but successive donations, above all a copious gift in the 1960s of African and Oceanic objects amassed by the pharmaceutical baron Henry Wellcome, have made it one of America’s foremost institutions of non-Western culture,” said New York Times art critic Jason Farago.

Last weekend the ceramics lab in the School of the Arts and Architecture opened its doors, inviting students, faculty, alumni and community members to participate in a massive bowl-making event. Kilns were fired up and conscripted to cook pizzas while dozens of amateur ceramicists manipulated clay for handmade bowls. Nearby, experienced ceramics wheel users created stacks of stunning shapes with alacrity. It’s all in service of the Yummy Bowl benefit, an annual event launched in 2021 by UCLA Arts professors Candice Lin and Anna Sew Hoy. On May 21, hundreds of bowls from the marathon making session will be available for purchase, filled with yummy food, with all proceeds benefiting the UCLA CPO Food Closet. The Yummy Bowl fundraiser has raised tens of thousands of dollars over the last several years for food-insecure students while promoting a unique moment of collective artmaking. Stay tuned for more information to get your own Yummy Bowl this May.
