Legacy.

Bonnie Anderson was an accomplished artist in numerous art forms and launched the studio as Potters Addict Ceramic Arts Centre in 2002 at the Rotary Arts Centre (thus offering the first pottery lessons in the Okanagan). Throughout her twenty three years at the RCA, Bonnie nurtured countless students and community members in the art of pottery and other forms of art.

Upon Bonnie’s passing in May 2025, several studio members caught the vision to keep the studio at the RCA going and have worked hard to refresh the space and make room for even more students, while keeping the core of Bonnie’s vision alive.

Each of us were taught and mentored by Bonnie in various ways and we are deeply grateful for her facilitating our introduction to pottery. She was a deep well of creativity whose presence is deeply felt at the studio still today.
