| Introduction |
My name is Bonny, I am originally from Alaska but have lived in the South for many years due to an aversion to snow. I primarily wheel throw pottery and have a full home studio in the back yard. I make things that can be used, I tend not to do things that are ornamental only. I am constantly trying new things and constantly trying to learn and get better.

| What I Love about Ceramics |
Pottery is my sanity project. I have a nerve and muscle disease and am not good at being retired. Pottery gives me a way to keep my muscles working and keep my sanity.
|
| How I started with ceramics |
I wanted to do pottery most of my life and could never fit it in with a busy profession. Being retired gave me the perfect opportunity.
|
| What inspires me |
Everything inspires me, the best part is anything is possible. Even mistakes are inspiring
|
| What I'm working on at the moment |
I just finished a full bisque kiln and will be deep into scrubbing, smoothing and glazing tomorrow
|
| My Artist Statement |
My work is all useful items. Cups, bowls, spoon rests, glasses (yes, shot glasses too), bird feeders, bird houses and anything that strikes me.
|
| My CV |
My highlights come when I donate a big batch of pottery to the Battered Women’s Shelter or the Wounded Veterans home. I don’t have an interest in selling even though I certainly have the equipment and production capability.
