​It is my pleasure to announce that This Quiet Dust Ceramics new Showroom/Atelier in Lake Forest, IL is open the the public! This space provides an in-person look at my collection of handmade ceramics, as well as a rare opportunity to get a closer look at my creative process in the studio where it all happens.  The most exciting part for me is that, I will regularly feature artists--side by side my own work, who share the common goal of creating beautiful, hand-crafted, ethically-made objects that celebrate the importance of making your living space unique, functional and beautiful.  I am currently featuring the work of Michigan-based artist, Tim Hall. Please schedule your  appointment to see his collection at This Quiet Dust Ceramics new Showroom.

​

​Tim Hall presents a delicately crafted collection of rustic yet fully refined wood food boards,  vases, candle holders and furniture.  All his pieces are individually made by hand and all his materials are carefully selected for aesthetics, quality and durability. 

The soft lines and natural quality of these wood pieces merge beautifully with This Quiet Dust Ceramics. A perfect combination of materials and textures that offer functionally and nature inspired beauty.

​​At This Quiet Dust Ceramics, I design and make handmade porcelain tableware inspired by the beauty of nature and a minimalist aesthetic. My passion for clay stems from its humble origin of coming from the earth and allowing me to transform it into an object of everyday use. My work is 100% handmade in my boutique studio in Lake Forest, IL where I strive to lead an environmentally friendly studio practice. Choosing handmade beautiful and responsibly made objects helps us care for our planet while reducing single-use plastic at home... POTTERY IS FOREVER!

​“Force yields to suppleness; beauty circumvents the brain, rises from sweat, and mud. Carreño’s
line of handmade porcelain tableware possesses a serious simplicity while flirting with eccentric
wobbles. Neither rigidly symmetrical nor decoratively whimsical, the work feels balanced in the
same way a dancer does when she leaps, then lands lightly.”
