Cool Young Artists – A Variety of Ideas – #09 Featuring Steve Uren Studios
Steve Uren
This week’s Cool Young Artists will feature the first of many individual artists. His name is Steve Uren, owner of Steve Uren Studios in Marquette, Michigan, which is in the central Upper Peninsula of the state. Inspired by his grandfather, Steve is a woodworker, specializing in custom created furniture and artwork.
Steve Uren Studios was formed in 2001 and was originally named Birchwood, reflecting the name of his family’s camp. Originally a part-time hobby, Steve’s love for woodworking soon turned into a full-time business. In addition to showing and selling his products in art shows and select galleries on the east coast and the mid-west of the United States, he does commission work. By referrals and correspondence using email and phone, orders are taken and based on the customer’s description of the project and/or a picture of the designated space. Costs are determined by the design, the woods used and the customer’s budget; and he says, “All designs can be based on your budget.”
All of Steve’s creations are unique, truly one-of-a-kind pieces of functional wood art. There will never be another piece of wood furniture made exactly like any of those created by Steve Uren Studios. He also uses a carefully selected pack and ship company to keep shipping costs to a minimum.
Steve’s created works of wood art and furniture include desks, tables, cutting boards, bureaus, night stands, chairs, ornamental boxes and other works of art. From his website, here are a few of Steve’s unique creations:
