GoFundMe launched following death of local ceramic studio owner

Jul 3, 2025 | 3:33 PM

An online fundraiser has been launched to support the family of the late-owner of a Vernon based ceramic studio.

The Help Colour Time Ceramics – In Memory of Collin Bonneau GoFundMe was started after the studio’s co-owner, Collin Bonneau, passed away Sunday, June 29.

The GoFundMe, started by friend and frequent customer, Serena Yatkowsky, said Collin left behind his wife and the studio’s other co-owner, Meghan, who “is understandably stricken with immense grief, and at this time needs to temporarily close the studio as she navigates the loss of her husband and grieves.”

The fundraiser said the closure of the business will cause financial hardship for Meghan and the business, and asked people to provide some support during this time.
