Announcement
This Quiet Dust is a ceramic studio established by Dubhe Carreño with the aim to create simple yet elegant porcelain tableware inspired by the merging of urban living and nature.
Dubhe Carreño’s tableware is designed and handcrafted to create perfectly simple forms inspired by a minimalist aesthetic and by the colors and textures inherent in nature. Forms are intentionally irregular highlighting the presence of the artist’s hand, which honors clay’s voice as an active participant and collaborator in the process of creating each individual form.
Our tableware is made with a mid-range- temperature porcelain and fired in an oxidation atmosphere firing process. Bowls and cups are made in the potter’s wheel and plates are made by rolling clay into slabs, and then carefully cut and finished by hand. After the first firing, glaze is either poured or dipped into a mixture of suspended mineral oxides to then undergo a second and final firing which makes the clay vitreous and hardens the glaze.
Dubhe’s tableware designs are perfect for both an elegant dining room setting as well as a warm morning breakfast around the kitchen table. The designs, individually and collectively enhance the experience of eating and sharing a meal inviting conversation and enhancing the colors and textures of your food.

3 out of 5 starsI like the bowl very much, its shape and finish. The size, however, is not as described. It is a bit smaller. I would have preferred it to be as described. Thanks.

5 out of 5 starsI love my purchase! Dubhe worked with me with friendliness, fun and ease about customizing salt cellars for me. She really thought through the process to make sure I would get exactly what I was looking for. I'm so excited to show them off!

5 out of 5 starsThe quality of this cup is phenomenal. The aesthetic of the thinness of the porcelain, the very subtle wabi-sabi character, and the glaze is the perfect combination to me. An extremely talented artist from whom I hope to purchase again. Shipping was very fast as well.

About tqdceramics
My process is led by clay itself and its natural ability to be altered and transformed by forces ranging from a delicate pinch to a blasting fire.
