Lorena Bricco, of Clintonville, gets some help painting a bowl from Nova Bricco, 3, during a workshop April 7 at Shawano Community High School. The Briccos and others in the community worked to paint a variety of ceramic bowls for Shawano Area Matthew 25 to sell for its Empty Bowls fundraiser. The event, held in fall, helps to fund operations at SAM’s House, an emergency homeless shelter in Shawano.

The trio have painted bowls for the Empty Bowls fundraiser for at least three years, and they also worked at another workshop held March 24. “It’s not hard, but it’s fun,” Redman said.
