Michael and Michele Gwinup established Blue Spruce Pottery in 1976. It is a family owned and operated business ran with the help of the Gwinup’s daughter Melissa, and her husband Patrick Woodman. Their pottery studio is located in Bend, Oregon, between the Cascade Mountains and the High Desert of Central Oregon. This beautiful landscape inspires much of the imagery, forms and textures that are used to make their wonderful raku pieces.
