Every March, we conduct our annual “Chili Bowl Sale” on the Stratton Quad, selling ceramic bowls made by WPA members to the SIUE community. We provide hot chili, various soups, and toppings with every purchase of a bowl.
Lots of mugs to choose from!
At the end of each semester, the WPA organizes, promotes, and operates a two-day pottery sale in the Art and Design building. This event draws hundreds of SIUE students, faculty, and community members from the entire St. Louis metro region to the Art and Design building.
