Empty bowls fill hungry tummies
By MEHANA LEE, staff writer
Senior, Kauluwehi Rindlisbacher made ceramic bowls by hand over the summer as her senior project to raise money to donate to the Maui Food Bank. From Nov. 7-9, Rindlisbacher displayed the bowls for students and faculty to purchase for $10 each and admire during lunch in front of Pauahilani Counseling Center. On Nov. 10, the bowls were moved to the dining hall. All 76 of Rindlisbacher’s bowls were sold within the four days. The $765 will be donated to the Maui Food Bank. Art teacher Ms. Levi Mason brought
this project to Rindlisbacher’s attention last year. From then, Rindlisbacher worked diligently and committed herself to it. She said she spent about 40 hours completing all of the bowls. “Mrs. Mason brought the idea to my attention. I really had no idea what to do for my senior project, but one of her students in the past did it, and I thought it would be a great idea to do so,” said Rindlisbacher. Each bowl was hand-crafted differently and painted individually with bright colors or formed with unique textures. Although most of the bowls were bought by faculty, students enjoyed looking at Rindlisbacher’s work.
