Studio / Residency with Bonny

I'm super excited to be offering my 2026

Studio / Residency for ONE

at The Bonny Studio and Encaustic Center spaces - 5 days, just for you!
(2, 3 and 4 day options also available)

In this completely customizable program, we will be building your Studio Residency to explore and indulge your specific interests.

We'll start off with a Zoom visit to plan your Studio / Residency experience. Once we see the best trajectory for you and your work, we'll plan delving into any number of processes, materials and techniques to best support your work and ideas moving forward,

The Studio / Residency includes full access to supplies and equipment and includes demos, precious time to make art, helpful input, guided research and optional gallery and museum visits.

The residency is also a time where we discuss ideas and concepts that will build your vision and unearth your deeper "why". You'll produce work, setting you on a stronger, more open trajectory - one you can grow with.

Testimonial from my 2025 Studio / Residency with Carol Haralson: Hi Bonny, Thank you for all the amazing teaching during my residency! I had the BEST time with you and going to all the museums and galleries. I have so many ideas bouncing thru my head and can’t wait to get started on making more work.

After our initial Zoom visit,

The daily schedule will look something like this:

Day One and Two will be a series of discussions, demos and time for you to work freely and independently. We'll parse out strengths to build on and I'll suggest and introduce additional materials and techniques

Just some of the many materials, techniques and processes we can delve into are shown below.

Day Three we'll do a day of Galleries and Museums. I'll plan to bring you to spaces I feel would best relate to your you and your work. We'll discuss and delve into the work, the artists, and the institutions. There's always so much to discover and enjoy!

Day Four and Five, we'll come back to the studios fresh, for more demos, discussions and art making. I'll also be encouraging ways to journal and research to strengthen and further your practice.

Midway through Day Five, we'll gather your work to see it all together and view it as a body of work. For those who are interested, we can discuss professional practices, a web presence, artist statement, submitting work for exhibitions etc. If you have that already going, we can move to working on proposals etc. We'll also be discussing ways to move forward with the work after the Studio / Residency.

You will receive an email with clickable links to all the materials you use and a summary of our time together including gallery links, recommended podcasts, books and more. After taking this Studio / Residency, you will be qualified to use any of the materials and equipment in independent workdays at the studio and we can continue building on any aspect of the work with One on Ones.
