5 out of 5 starsI love my new etched owl jar. There are so many things it can be used it for that I can't decide. I learned about Bonnie's work through a friend who has a beautiful kitchen full of her pieces, each one of the same durable and beautiful high quality as my new jar.

5 out of 5 starsI haven't tried this yet, but I will soon. It arrived in good time, very well packed, and is exactly what I'd hoped for. I already have a beautiful Le Creuset dutch oven I've been using for baking bread, but I really wanted to try a clutch like this and I love to support individual artists. I can see this being an heirloom, handing down through generations, along with the sourdough starter I'm currently working on "growing".

River Rock Fireplace in my house with my pottery flowing right along with the rocks
I LOVE what I do
I discovered pottery while on a trip to Europe...It’s been over 30 years now and I still LOVE creating with clay. I did take 15 years off from professional marketing and sold by word of mouth only – in that time I raised two lovely identical twin daughters – Sierra and Maya, and designed and owner built a house and studio on the Monterey Peninsula. If you’re interested in seeing handmade sinks, mosaic murals, concrete and rock work… check out my web page www.hotzart.com under the gallery tab click on the building my studio button.
Now, back at it full time and exploring a very different type of firing and glaze work than I did pre – mom. I find this exciting and think it shows in the work. I fire in a 24 cubic foot handmade downdraft kiln with propane gas in a carbon trapping reduction atmosphere to very high temperatures, 2400 degrees F. and above – Cones 10 -11. There are many ‘possible’ outcomes this way - so opening that kiln door is still ‘fresh’.

I pay equal attention to structure, form, surface and color. Striving to create a connection between the maker and user. I replicate organic patterns from my daily life in nature by etching, carving, piercing and/or painting. Hoping to bring joy.
Shop policies
With every pot and every firing I strive to make sweet, strong functional pots with interesting forms, textures and colors that enhance your day - that first cup of coffee or tea in the morning, a special serving piece, dinnerware you enjoy looking at whether there's food in it or not, a vase for your flowers, a gift for that special person or occasion...
My work has been sold in over 60 craft galleries nationwide as well as two Craft Museum gift shops; one in New York City and one in San Francisco.
I like connecting my pottery to your life! I hope they bring joy and a smile to your day.
Please keep in mind that colors appear slightly differently on different computer screens. I've described the colors as best I can.
