Bowls everywhere: Art professor makes 300 ceramic bowls for
charity art sale; Proceeds go to YWCA Spousal Abuse Center

By Tracy Kershaw

Bobby Scroggins is having
a bowl with ceramics.

Three hundred of them. in
fact.

The UK art professor cre-
ated 300 ceramic bowls this se-
mester for an annual charity
art sale next week at ’l‘ransyl-
vania University.

This year‘s proceeds bene»
fit the YWCA Spousal Abuse
Center.

Scroggins. who teaches ce»
ramics. only planned to make
100 bowls when he began the
project in October, But a chal-
lenge from another artist made
the number multiply.

Scroggins also saw it as a
valuable lesson in goal setting
for his students. They do not
always get to see an artist set a
goal and follow through. Scrog
gins said.

“It is teaching by exam-
ple." he said.

At the least. it takes the 46-
year-old Missouri native only
three minutes to make a bowl.
which has to be thrown on a
wheel. trimmed. fired twice
and then glazed.

Scroggins. who has been at

introduction to sculpting.
When he was 13. he had a head
injury that damaged his body
balance and ability to use his
hands. He began working with
clay to improve his dexterity

“That became a therapy
for me." he said.

Since then. he has ime
mersed himself in the arts. He
began showing his sculptures
as a teenager. He graduated
from Kansas (‘ity Art Institute

The aoo bowls add to the
numerous collection of pro-

tries to document and keep up
with his art after it is sold or

Each project has (littered.

A Christmas
story

The beginning of the
Santa Claus myth (I
hate to ruin it for
you, but their is no
Santa Claus) can
actually be traced
back to a real person.

St. Nicholas lived in what
is now Turkey around
300 AD. He was born
into a wealthy family,
but both his parents
died from the plague
leaving him orphaned.

St. Nicholas was raised

in a monastery and

became a priest at

the age of 17.

Nicholas began to

give away his fortune

in the form of gifts,
especially to children.

When the Reformation
occurred, many
Protestants didn't
want their seasonal
gift giver to be
related to the
Catholic Church so
they changed the
name. But all of
these retained the
traditional image of a
white bearded man
who gave gifts to
children.

The Dutch adopted the
name Sint Klaas for
their gift giver.

When the Dutch settled
in American in New
Amsterdam the name
was changed to Santa
Claus.
