Ceramic artist Evelyn Taylor Bonner earned a BFA in Ceramics from Syracuse University in 1990, then spent four years as a production tile and mosaic maker at the Moravian Pottery & Tile Works in Doylestown, PA. She founded her own ceramics business in 2006, which currently features a bustling wholesale operation, a robust calendar of gallery and craft shows, and a weekly pottery class at Perkins Center for the Arts in Collingswood, NJ.

“My desire to explore our region’s forests, trails, and beaches, searching for inspiration from the earth, is insatiable. Those influences have always been prominent in my work. During the pandemic, spending more time at home than usual, I realized that our living space is filled with vibrant colors and patterns such as Ikat textiles, handwoven rugs, Native American baskets, and a wide range of decorative arts from around the world, and those influences demanded to become a part of the story as well. My most recent work reflects these wide-ranging inspirations.”
