Bonnie Anderson, owner of Potters Addict Ceramic Art Centre, studied at the University of Calgary
where she triple majored in painting, printmaking and ceramics. From 1986 until 1990, before coming to
Kelowna, Bonnie worked as a Ceramic Arts Instructor and Painting Instructor for the City of Calgary.
In 1990
the lure of the Okanagan brought Bonnie to Kelowna with the dream of establishing a ceramic arts centre.
Since then, she has been teaching pottery to children, youths, adults and seniors in her studio, called The
Potters Addict. She is also an active member of
The Okanagan
Potters Association. Bonnie's love of clay is most vividly shown in her hand-built female clay
creations which are finished using the ancient method of Raku firing.
