31 DAYS

Café Studio NYC 195 Chrystie St 102 W, New York City, United States

Charlie Dumais, co-founder of Litchfield-based ceramics studio, Dumais Made, offers an intimate look into his creative practice with the exhibition, 31 DAYS. Born from a resolution to return and reconnect with his craft, he committed to craft a pair of lamps each day for thirty-one days.

The resulting collection of 62 works includes wide-ranging forms and inspirations from Charlie’s early influences as a designer, to iconic mid-century forms and Brutalist architecture.

31 DAYS stands as a testament to Charlie Dumais' playful dedication to craftsmanship, innovation, and the perpetual journey of creative exploration.
