Bonnie Anderson

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.
