We first spied the eye catching designs and gorgeous glazes of Steven Provence Pottery this summer…read morein the small display of his work for sale at one of our favorite Bend stores, Ginger's Kitchenware. ( http://www.yelp.com/biz/gingers-kitchenware-bend-2 ) A beautiful array of pottery pieces in designs from geometric to sort of botanically inspired patterns and glaze colors that are "ahhhh...." worthy. The pieces captured our attention for their art and their functional potential. We thought they were elegant in the combination of usefulness and organic simplicity in the designs. We went to visit Steven's pottery studio this week to look through additional options in searching out a couple of coffee mugs that matched given they were to be a gift, the gift recipient likes matched things and Ginger's had only singletons in mugs when we went back to make our purchase there. We're so glad we got to visit with Steven, what a likable guy he is in addition to being a talented artist, and see his new studio location. I have some Steven Provence Pottery bowls for daily use on my holiday wish list. But my husband and I also saw mugs and platters and plates and pitchers and trivets and bakers to admire. Not to mention bowls and platters large enough to be display pieces that sing to us too. I've included photos here but I'm a lousy photographer and can't begin to capture how wonderful are these designs and glazes. So I've also inserted a photo from the Steven Provence Pottery Facebook page that does a better job than I can of showing the range of work. As postscript, this is another of those stories in the unfolding short story book of how Bend's economic collapse in places like the building industry due to the implosion of the high flying Real Estate speculation market has had good implications in other areas. Because while the "Aspen wannabe" boom was going in, folks like Steven and his business partner and wife had trouble affording commercial rents in Bend. He was previously working out of private garage space. But with the decline in rental rates in Bend, he's able to move his studio into a large space which will be easier for shoppers to come visit and see his work. Everybody wins in that arrangement. Everything is connected. If you're looking for something beautiful and functional for your home or as a gift for someone else's, Steven Provence Pottery is a good place to start. You can find it at Ginger's Kitchenware or at his studio. (Both Ginger's and Steven ship.) Tips - 1) Call before you go to the studio. Although hours are listed as Fridays and Saturdays from 10 - 5, either Steven or his wife are sometimes at the studio at other times. And sometimes away on weekends for shows. 2) For my Yelp friends and others who use wheelchairs, canes or crutches, the studio is completely accessible from level in entry. But helpful to know in advance that the parking lot of the complex in which the building sits does not have designated accessible parking.

When our dining room table was completed, Mike drove all the way up to Seattle to put it together in our kitchen. When we realized the table had rings from our coffee mugs, Mike drove all the way back up to sand and wax the table so the rings disappeared. These guys went above and beyond, were great to work with, and much cheaper than anything you'll find in Seattle. Highly recommend for beautiful wood furniture.

My wife and I stumbled up on Terra-Steel at the Spring Fair in Northwest Crossing. We were in the…read moremarket for a media cabinet and everything we had seen was too generic, or not sized appropriately for our space. We called Justin who came out to look at the space and surroundings. Justin rocks plain and simple. He is very attentive and personable. He listened to our requirements, offered some ideas and presented finish samples. Within a few days, we had a sketch and proposed measurements. We made one edit and they were off and running. 3 - 4 weeks later, Justin and crew delivered an amazing piece of furniture and it absolutely exceeded our expectations! I would highly recommend them if you are looking for true craftsmanship and a one-of-a-kind piece of furniture that will last a lifetime.

My family has supported this local business for many years and it saddens me to say my most recent…read morevisit was very disappointing. The person at the counter (who seemed to be supervising the other employees) was less than enthusiastic about helping me find a specific ring size even though there was no one else needing attention. She also could not offer any information on properties or energy the various stones are believed (by many) to hold. When I asked about the location of stickers in support of a certain cause I was told to "just look around ". I did not feel the peaceful, inclusive, supportive welcome I have enjoyed in the past and will (sadly) think twice before shopping Cosmic for my next gift giving occasion.
