Clara Kohrman, 17, of Whately, left, Noah Lind Hornick, 17, of Amherst, and potter Tiffany Hilton share a laugh as Hornick throws on the potter's wheel Oct. 14, 2017, during a bowl-making marathon at Hilton's studio in the Florence Arts & Industry Building to benefit the Amherst Survival Center's Empty Bowls Dinner fundraiser. In honor of National Clay Week Open Studio, a nationwide event celebrating clay and community, Hilton made a commitment to donate some 200 handmade bowls for the dinner, held in March. She opened her studio on both Saturday and Sunday for whomever wanted to help create the bowls. "I feel lucky to be in the position to share my skills and resources with a whole new group of people," said Hilton. "This is what I have to give back." Of the community effort, she said "When I saw all six wheels going at once with six beautiful bowls happening, I thought, 'It doesn't get better than this.'"
