PUHI — Mike and Jo Camarata of Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin, will be picking up their third bowl on Feb. 7 at the Clayworks at Kilohana.
“We’ve been attending the Souper Sunday event from the time we started coming here three years ago,” Jo said Thursday while working on a project with Mike in the garden classroom of Clayworks. “Whatever glaze Susan Pittman uses is fine. We like it so much, we took classes from Susan, just to keep our artistic side going.”
The Clayworks at Kilohana hosts its Souper Sunday on the National Football League’s Super Bowl from 11 a.m. until 1 p.m., or as Pittman said, “the soup runs out.”
“This year, we have a lot of people coming,” Jo said. “And, they’ll all be here, by pairs.”
Diners to Souper Bowl select a special handmade ceramic bowl which is filled with a soup created by the chefs at Gaylord’s at Kilohana, and can either dine in or take it to go.
Proceeds are donated 100 percent to benefit the Lihue Lutheran Church, one of the programs helping the Salvation Army’s Kokua Soup Kitchen by volunteering to help prepare and feed lunches for the needy. It also provides Mobile Munchies, a packaged selection of food to go at the weekly lunch.
Joy Labok had already completed throwing the day’s batch of bowls and turned her attention to the developing Raku Doll, a figurine which incorporates whatever Kauai ingredients she is able to fit in.
“These are hot sellers,” she said. “They don’t sit on the shelves very long before someone adopts one and takes it to a good home. We might have some hiding on Souper Sunday.”
