Written by two longtime Glamorgan
residents who wish to remain anonymous
boNNy
houstoN
in 1982, while she was employed as a lab technician
at the University of Saskatchewan, Bonny Houston
decided to take a summer course in glass blowing
at Sheridan College outside Toronto; it was a lifechanging event. As Bonny says, “i was smitten by hot
glass”. Ever since, she has studied and worked as a glass
artist, continuously refining her art. After her studies in
Japan at the Tokyo Glass Art institute, and apprenticing
to a glass blower in Kumamoto, Bonny studied at the
Alberta College of Art and Design here in Calgary, and
at Red Deer College.
the sense of community. i have fabulous neighbours
and we take care of each other. The other day my
neighbour Brian took it upon himself to sprinkle sand
on an icy patch at the far end of the alley from his
house – that embodies the whole spirit of Glamorgan. i
can count on them and they can count on me.” She also
appreciates that she has “eyereach” (a term i’d never
heard before, which Bonny explained as the ability
to see open vistas, as we do in the Prairies), able to
look out her front window onto green space, with the
mountains visible on a clear day.
Bonny has been working as a glass artist full time
since 1987. She rented a space in inglewood, but had
bigger aspirations: “First thing they tell you when you
study glass is that you won’t be able to eat off it (as a
living), but i decided to prove them wrong. i had this
dream to build my own studio.” in 1997, fellow artist
and bird carver Suzie Rod told her of a house for sale
in her neighbourhood of Glamorgan – Bonny says “it
was meant to be”. in 2004 she opened the studio in
her garage, an airy space full of the tools of her trade,
with playful artwork on the garage doors, painted by
former neighbour Dean Stanton (whose work you can
see on the gym wall of Sunalta School as you pass on
Crowchild Trail). in her yard, glass ornaments hang
from the tree, and precious bits of colour from glass
pieces are scattered in the gardens.
Bonny shares her home with her mini SchnauzerBoston cross, Qloe. She enjoys playing tennis in the
nearby outdoor courts, though she insists “it’s just for
fun. Whoever laughs the most, wins!” She also makes
good use of the Glamorgan skating rink. in the quieter
winter months, Bonny loves to travel, and she has
journeyed extensively throughout Asia and Mexico.
Bonny’s work is colourful, fluid and often whimsical –
my personal favourites were the extravagant fish and
snails – and encompasses a wide range of objects
such as ball ornaments, goblets and bowls. Her work
is exhibited from Victoria to Charlottetown, and locally
particularly at the Stephen Lowe Gallery.
Bonny grew up on a mixed farm in Lacadena,
Saskatchewan, between Kindersley and Swift Current,
and compares living in Glamorgan to growing up in
Saskatchewan. She enthusiastically tells me how much
she loves living here: “i love Glamorgan! i really enjoy
Bonny is a committed member of the glass art
community, locally and internationally. She regularly
attends conferences and workshops, and generously
shares her knowledge through teaching, stating that
“i am not the kind of person who keeps secrets – it’s
hard enough (to master glass blowing).” When asked to
name an artist she admires, she mentioned Oiva Toikka,
a Finnish glass artist whom she met while studying in
Japan. “He is very creative, a true artist. He works not
only in glass, but has also created costumes for the
opera, for example.”
Bonny tells me that she had done a variety of jobs
previously and came late to the glass world. She is
open, passionate, and a wonderful example of the
wisdom of following your bliss!

organized retail crime
A message from the Federation of Calgary Communities
Building Safe Communities Program
Have you ever wondered about the too good to be
true deal that you see on Kijiji or eBay? Did you know
that for every $100 you spend on merchandise that
$20 of it goes into loss prevention measures related
to theft?
Organized retail crime (ORC) is ‘professional’
shoplifting done by organized groups of people. Did
you know that ORC is the fastest growing method
of how criminal enterprises generate revenue to
continue illicit activities in North America. Want to
learn more?
Partners in Crime Prevention Workshop: Organized
Retail Crime (ORC)
How does ORC affect you and your community? Learn
what you can do as consumer, and what programs are
available to you a business owner from Cst. Sampson
and Cst. Critchley of the Calgary Police Service Crime
Prevention Unit.

i wanted to give a sincere thank-you to
Bonnie and Sara and the Board for all their
efforts to put on a wonderful Volunteer
Appreciation party each year.
Not that the volunteers give their time
for this reason, but it is sure great to be
recognized. And since we are all “can-do”
kind of folks, what better than to have an
evening of fun activities – Thank You.

Creating Your
Design
Style
intermingle. Style categories are usually developed
by historians in an attempt to organize history. So,
by calling our style of today contemporary, it really
means, present day or what is popular now. So anything goes!
The following are a few styles of the past that have
impacted history:
by Judy Curran
With so many styles out there to choose from, how
does one really find out what their individual style
is? I hear the term Contemporary often, when I ask
people their style. However, this really is not a style
as of yet, it is a trend that most people are following,
but you may notice that there is no set rule for this
style. Contemporary refers to our current styles being created today. The term style generally refers to
a segment of design history that is typical of an individual, a period, or a philosophy of design. It may also
refer to a particular culture or region. Since there is
no real stopping point between styles, designs from
one region may influence others, and therefore styles
Egyptian, Greek , Roman, Renaissance , Baroque , Rococco – Louis XV, Neoclassic – Louis XVI , Empire, Provincial, Chinese, Hispanic, African, Japanese, English,
American styles, Victorian Era, Traditional Revivals,
Early Modernism, and Modern styles.
A designer studies these styles and uses them to
create current design styles. Therefore to find your
personal style, you will need to know what period(s)
of history you like the best, and there may be a few
that appeal to you. Discover what type of feeling you
want to bring to your space, be it formal or informal.
Sometimes a colour or a fabric helps you discover
that feeling. Then feel free to put them together, remembering the rules of design: harmony, scale, etc.
Judy Curran is a Calgary Interior Decorator/Designer.

“Nancy was suggestive without being overpowering, her staging suggestions
were excellent and she got us 2 offers on day 1 before we were on the MLS. We
sold for over $10,000 more than list price! Her extensive experience showed
through on many occasions. We can’t thank Nancy enough for the awesome job
she did with the sale and helping us find a great home.”
