The Workhouse

Dad says he doesn’t need anything.

Dad has not seen what’s at The Workhouse.

Fish stickers, fish art, landscape puzzles, wallets, pottery, coffee, and beer painted artwork, a space spray that smells like the forest, he won’t stop talking about, and so much more!

Cards too. Come find the whole thing in one stop.

If you've spent any time at The Workhouse, chances are you've already fallen for the work of Heidi Weiss Hoffman of HWH Ceramics. She's been part of our community for a while now, and we never get tired of talking about her.

Based in Tumalo, just outside Bend, Heidi hand-builds ceramic vessels that are deeply rooted in the landscapes, textures, and travels that inspire her. Her path to ceramics is one of our favorite kinds of stories. After decades in the restaurant and food industry, she discovered ceramics through a class at Central Oregon Community College. And then she never looked back.

Her work features minimalist, organic forms with subtle irregularities and tactile surfaces that echo mid-century ceramic design and the natural world around her. Earthy. Grounded. Quietly beautiful. The kind of piece that feels like it was always meant to be in your home.
