It has become a major source of funding. Art students sell their wares BAYLY MARRET/FEATURES REPORTER Art students sold their handmade bowls and mugs to hungry patrons. Bayly Marret Features Reporter People lined up outside the door waiting to get into the UNCA art department's sixth annual Soup- and-Salad Bowl Sale on Apr. 18. All proceeds went to benefit the ceraijTiic? department. "The food is all pretty much self jenerated from the art department students and teachers; it's mostly all people involved with the ceram- department. The ceramics de partment is not fimded at all so we really have to do our own funding," said Rosella Best, a junior art major ocusing on painting. "In a way, it's neat because it's self sustainable, but in another way it's bad because we don' t get any money and we have to donate 15-20 bowls to sell for money for our depart- At the sale, members of the art department filled tables and tables with bowls and mugs of all sizes at very reasonable prices. It seemed . like a frenzied race for who could get the best bowls, and for some, who could get the most. Once you picked your bowl(s), you had a choice of different homemade soups or salads, which art students and faculty donated. The event offered a variety of soups and stews from chicken noodle soup to three different kinds of chili, including a vegetarian chili. People chose from tons of tasty salads, vary ing from greens tossed with straw berries and orange slices, to Greek salads and all different types of pasta The soup and salad sale proved profitable to customers, because they got a great deal on a handmade craft, as well as a delicious lunch. Also, they could feel good about themselves at the same time for supporting a worthy cause. The students priced their own bowls, most of which cost under $12. Buying a handmade ceramic bowl in a gallery might likely be three times as much as the bowls in this sale. More people from the Asheville community attended than UNCA students. "I've been doing the sale for a couple of years and it's normally like this," said Sean Fairbridge, an undeclared sophomore. "There is another sale we do where we get the proceeds, and its all our work, and that’s always jam packed.” The ceramic department adver tises all over town to attract mem bers of the community to the sale, according to Fairbridge. As a result of the budget cuts in North Carolina, various depart ments have to depend on sales such as the Soup-and-Salad Bowl Sale as a major source of funding. "'The art department doesn't re ally have any budget right now,” said Cody Hulme, a junior art ma- jor. “Like in sculpture, if someone breaks a tool they just don't have any money to replace it."
