     We signed the wall in 2006 with our friends from London. Enjoyed your shop and the several pieces I have.
 
Jessica Worster,
     Last weekend, my family and I took our annual trip down to Iowa, to have our Christmas with my mom and stepdad. My mom kept telling me, "You and Kelvin have another gift coming, but it's not here yet." I forgot that I sent her your website and some ideas for pieces that I'd like. We ended up leaving about 5 hours later than planned because of bad weather, but in those 5 hours, she had discovered a package in her garage (the UPS guy must have come while we weren't home) and it was two pieces that I really wanted, and she bought one for herself that matched ours. I got a spoon rest and the matching blue utensil holder, and she got the square bowl, all matching. I just wanted to tell you that I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THEM!! I will definately be purchasing more as money comes our way! I love your work, it's magical and knowing that my mom has another piece that matches ours, is a wonderful feeling. We've always lived so far away from them, so anything that keeps them close at heart is welcomed. So, thank you for bringing my mother and I closer. Oh, and I did give her the Beautiful Women of North Dakota book, so she feels like she knows you too!

     I bougth a very unique rock candle from Tama several years ago and lost a couple of rivets that you need to burn it. I called her and she sent me replacements immediately. Not only do you have beautiful items, you have a first class customer service policey. Thanks so much.
 
Peggy Nordgaard, Bismarck, ND
     They arrived and are beautiful! I'm giving them as Christmas gifts and am sure everyone will love them. My son, a photographer for WDAY in Fargo did a story on the author of "Beautiful Women of ND" and recognized you in it! Congratulations. Good for you!
 
Mark A. Zimmerman, Bismarck, ND
     Tama personally delivered an order--how's that for service! The blue colors in the plate are simply beautiful. Thanks for the craftmanship and wonderful personal service.

Linda & Gene Crouch, Empire, Michigan
     We stopped at your shop in July after we saw a beautiful pottery display at the rest stop and the lady told us where to go to find your shop. What a wonderful surprise. We love the west landmarks and we bought a piece of your work to bring home to our house to remind us of the great landmarks we saw on our trip to the western side of the U.S. Your pottery is a great reminder of a great vacation we had. Thank You. You have a beautiful shop. We will be back.
 
Linda & Gene Crouch,

     We received the Blue Mugs last week in perfect condition, of course, due to superb packing. They are just what we wanted and are beautiful. As we intend them for our summer cottage in New Hampshire, I did not unpack them completely, leaving them taped to the cardboard, and intend to ship them in your packaging when we head back there next summer. Thank you so much for letting us know when they became available!
 
Noreen Linke,
     I just returned home from a long vacation to find the box from you with the beautiful Northern Lights Bowl. This was a great and wonderful surprise. I love it, and I appreciate your thoughtfulness so very much. This is exactly the bowl I had hoped to receive in my last order. Thank you for this beautiful and unexpected gift. I will display it with pride in my home. I am always pleased with the level of service you provide and this is another example of why. Many, many thanks!
 
Jennifer, Seattle
     Just wanted to let you know that I picked up one of your lovely bowls in a thrift store about 7 years ago, and have loved it ever since. Just happened to be cleaning it and looked up the studio. Although I had never heard of you when I bought the bowl, I've always loved it - the glaze is so beautiful. Looks like it was fired in 96. Thank you for making such beautiful, unusual tings!
 
Joyce Burns, Grove Oklahoma

     Thank you so much! We received a lot of your work for our wedding this past weekend and loved it so much we ordered a gift for mother's day! Thanks for your beautiful work. We will enjoy collecting over time.
 
Pam Anderson,
     I LOVE the small plate I just received from you! The colors are fabulous – I especially like the unexpected green and purple and the spots are wonderful counterpoint to the flowing lines. It looks just like I expected so your online catalog is good. I will be back for more! I live in a very “arty” area and have exposure to lots of pottery but yours is the only one I’ve purchased for a long time. Keep up the good work! Your packaging is delightfully, effectively simple and the chocolate was a great touch. First class, professional all the way. I am a quiltmaker and am originally from North Dakota.

     Fed Ex just dropped off my Prairie Fire birthday platter. Let me tell you, Jerry, you are a Master Packer/Shipper! There is no way any pottery could get broken with the expert job you do with each package.Tama, thank you for selecting such a beautiful piece for me. The colors are perfect for your name: Prairie Fire. It is truly stunning. I am so pleased that my sister, Carmen, made me aware of your work.

Cecil Steed, Charleston
     I received the delivery of the "spoon crock" in very good condition. It is beautiful. I envy you in North Dakota, because you don't have to deal with the constant threat of hurricanes. I promise that when a hurricane finally hits Charleston I will carry your spoon crock as I wade away in waist-deep water, and I will hold a sign telling of your Prairie Fire Pottery. You will be known nationally on television!
 
Diane Jackson, Zionsville, Indiana

     We stopped into your shop last weekend after seeing your signage on the interstate. LOVED IT!! Purchased a beautiful red plate that I've been searching for for quiet some time. It's just right displayed in the family room. Thank you so much for your help in making my selection. (Another customer and I battled it out..but you were able to please both of us with your great selection). Will definately stop again.

Paul, Brownsville, Oregon
     Lucky me - I actually signed the wall in your lovely shop. My wife loves the bowl I bought. She misses her horses and the blue bowl with the horse in the bottom is perfect. It might have been because "the kiln speaks" as you so eloquently told me, but I believe you had a bit to do with it as well. We shall buy more. You bet.

     I left out that Ruth is Major Baily's sister, his only surviving sibling. What an honor it was to present her with one of your beautiful pitchers. Now I have to get two more more Ruth's daughters.
 
Kenneth Bailey, Sidney, MT
     On the Feb 21st I delivered a beautiful blue pitcher to the Major Kenneth D. Bailey, USMC. Ruth absolutely loved the pitcher as did her daughters. Please read a short bio on the Major below: Major Kenneth D. Bailey was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor on 24 March 1943, by President Franklin D. Roosevelt during a special ceremony at the White House, for heroic conduct during action in the Solomon Islands. The medal was presented to Maj Bailey's wife. He was awarded the Medal of Honor for his actions during an intense battle to repulse the enemy at Henerson Field on Guadalcanal.

     We signed the wall at your store in Beach, plus came away with three beautiful pieces. The high fired colors are brilliant. I checked out your web site to see if the colors were as vivid as what we saw in the store. Does justice to your vibrant warm colors but nothing can beat seeing your purples and mauves, a stop at the store is a must.

Steve & Julie, Denver, CO
     Having lived in North Dakota for some eleven years, I believe I've earned thr right to say.....I didn't think I'd ever find anything so beautiful in North Dakota. Your high temperature fired kilns have produced colors and visual joy only rivaled by your neighbor, the Badlands. Keep up the good work!

After visiting your website, I definitely want to drop in for a visit before next year's dig. I headed south from I-94 at Bellefield, so it sounds as if you're only a stone's throw (no pun intended) from there. See you next summer. GO BADGERS!

     Visited your studio and bought several lovely pieces. Signed the "real" wall, so thought I'd sign the cyber wall as well. A suggestion... we almost didn't find you once we reached town. How about a sign with directions to the studio at that first stop sign that brings you into town? We nearly gave up, but thankfully continued looking. Beautiful work. best wishes, Mike and Barb

     I acquired my first piece of Prairie Fire Pottery while living in Japan. Tama was gracious enough to send the "northern lights" bowl overseas. The bowl survived the shipping to Japan and the return trip back to the states. It is still my favorite piece of pottery. I am so thrilled to see this web site. Thank you Tama.
