DESCRIPTION:Blue Cloud Gallery\, a local Somerville store offering handcr
 afted gifts is excited to announce a once in a lifetime opportunity for 
 customers to discover the beautiful pottery creations of Massachusetts a
 rtist\, Warren Smith.\nBlue Cloud Gallery is found in the heart of Ball 
 Square in Somerville\, Massachusetts and offers a unique and personal wa
 y for customers to become familiar with the crafts and handiwork of loca
 l artists. The store\, operated by fine art photographer Betsy Lenora\, 
 works directly with artists to consign select pieces\, providing local t
 alent with an all-new pathway of support and patronage. The gallery's ow
 ner recently announced that during the month of July 2012\, the gallery 
 will showcase pieces by nationally-exhibited potter Warren Smith\, whose
  works will be discounted by ten percent for the duration of the month. 
 Warren Smith's record of excellence in the world of artistic pottery is 
 constantly growing. He holds degrees from the Massachusetts College of A
 rt and Design and the Rhode Island School of Design. He also apprenticed
  with John Baymore of River Bend Pottery. After more than forty years of
  international exhibitions and special events\, his reputation as an exp
 ert in the field is firmly established\, but Smith shows no signs of sto
 pping the continuing evolution of his craft. His pieces are influenced b
 y Japanese and early American folk pottery\, combining the humble spirit
  of organic\, handcrafted work with a richly-cultured visual flair. The 
 bowls\, mugs\, and vases in his portfolio are unique for valuing both ar
 tistic beauty and everyday utility - they are food safe\, and easily use
 d in microwave and conventional ovens. Harkening back to a time of humbl
 e folk aesthetics\, these pieces offer customers daily beauty without sa
 crificing their practical needs. Blue Cloud Gallery's ten percent off di
 scount on Warren Smith's artistic creations is intended to bring attenti
 on to these breathtaking pieces. The store rarely discounts artwork\, bu
 t Betsy Lenora and Warren Smith feel that such a promotion embodies the 
 humble sensibilities of Smith's pottery\, and gives visitors a rare oppo
 rtunity to experience the quiet strength of these pieces for themselves.
  The promotion ends on July 31 of this year\, and so the business encour
 ages customers to stop in soon to experience the fruits of Smith's life 
 work.
