Our June Artist of the Month is Bonnie Gordon, whose functional porcelain ceramic pieces are inspired by organic living forms. She describes her work as, “My once straight-forward wheel-thrown stoneware planters with applique’d flowers evolved into porcelain vessels which are altered and incised after the throwing process. More colorful symbolic imagery has been incorporated into these pieces as my life has been altered again and again. Anywhere from six months to 3 years is spent working on a specific series of pieces. Many of these series overlap and merge together at varying times. As always, my forms represent the essence of life.”

Meet Bonnie and learn more about her ceramic art, how she develops a series of work through drawings and other techniques, at a drop-in artist talk on Thursday, June 25 between 6:30 and 8:30 p.m.

Stop in the gallery during the month of June and enter our drawing to win Bonnie’s orange squash vase and incised bowl; no purchase necessary.
