Bonsella: borrowed from Afrikaans bonsela, from Xhosa bansela meaning "showing thanks with a gift", related to Zulu umbhanselo a "tip" or bonus.

Inspired by the cast iron skillets I grew up with and the colors of a good latte.

A collection of pieces inspired by the farmhouses, fields and colors that surround us here in the French countryside.

Our old barn that now houses the onsite store and soon to be opened gite was once a refuge for birds.  Many birds still visit our garden daily and I like to think some are relatives of the old residents. Here you will find ornaments, fridge magnets and other one of a kind pieces not featured in other collections.

 

Want to help me spread the word about this small business and support handmade goods?   Check out the shirts and you may find one that's calling your name.

 

Here you will find photos of some custom orders I have received over the past few months.  As I am just learning this incredible pottery process it is really fun to try different shapes and sizes so I welcome any requests.  Please contact me if you have something in mind and I will see what I can do.
