For the cost of $20, guests received unlimited soup, bread, and their choice of a handmade bowl created by Academy ceramic students. Profits were donated to Habitat for Humanity which builds homes for families in need around the Columbus area.  

Prior to the event, the ceramic students trimmed, glazed, and fired over 600 hundred bowls for the event, of which the purchase of 334 bowls netted $5,694, making it the biggest Empty Bowls sale so far.
