Rick Steber – MAKERS is more than a showroom. MAKERS is a collaborative community of local artists and artisans dedicated to preserving our heritage through their craftsmanship, creativity and storytelling. From Native American beadwork and traditional crafts to pine needle baskets, leatherwork, metal sculptures, lariat bowls, rawhide braiding, distinctive jewelry, original drawings, paintings and one-of-a-kind treasures. Our showroom celebrates the remarkable talent and individuality found throughout Central Oregon.

Our showroom is also the literary headquarters of award-winning Western author Rick Steber, who has written more than 60 books, sold over two million copies and had five of his books optioned to movie production companies. He is the founder of MAKERS and said, “The High Desert has always been shaped by people who make things with their hands. Our artists and artisans keep those traditions alive, and this day is about honoring them and the community that supports them.”

Appreciation Day – celebrate the people behind the work. Discover something extraordinary in our showroom, and recognize the important role local artists and artisans play in keeping our High Desert alive and vibrant. Come spend an afternoon with us. Enjoy light refreshment, libations and a chance to win souvenirs, books and gift certificates.
