Come take a look inside Yada Yada Pottery — the creative home of our Empty Bowls Mt. Dora bowl making sessions and glazing nights. 💛

We wanted to share a little behind-the-scenes look at the spaces where our community will gather this season to create bowls for Empty Bowls 2026. From local artwork and pottery to glazing tables, kilns, and wheel classes, Yada Yada is such a special part of this event — and of our community.

Whether you’ve never touched clay before or already love pottery, we hope you’ll join us for a session this season.
