The Pottery Club at New Buffalo High School is a unique way for students to build skills, become mentors, and give back to their community. The club offers workshops for students to learn how to throw bowls on the pottery wheel. More experienced students have the opportunity to teach and mentor others - including their parents. The club also held a marathon bowl-throwing session called Pottery Madness, a community service program that contributes to the Empty Bowls fundraiser.
