Gather with Dumais Made

Gather began at our sister property, Troutbeck, and is a lunchtime gathering for entrepreneurial minds to connect, learn from one another, and share ideas. Hosted by Jason Klein and Sascha Lewis, the program brings together a thoughtful group of local business leaders and creatives.

Based in Litchfield, CT, Dumais Made is a ceramics studio founded by Charlie and Kevin Dumais in 2017. What began with handmade lamps has evolved into a collection of furniture, objects, and accessories that balance form and function. Dumais Made embraces collaboration and the creative possibilities of working with clients to develop bespoke pieces, whether adapting an existing design or imagining something entirely new. Because everything is made by hand, each piece possesses its own story. A story that reflects the collective of individuals that made it, their interests, ideas, and inspiration, their personality and process, even their temperament on the day.

This local lighting luminary crafted bespoke sconces in the Mews and gorgeous lamps that pepper the rest of the property. We began our creative collaboration with Charlie Dumais at our sister property, Troutbeck, and it's in full swing at Belden.

Join us for an engaging conversation with founder Charlie Dumais as he shares the story behind Dumais Made and the inspiration, the creative process, and the art of working with clay. Come curious, connect with fellow entrepreneurs and creatives, and leave inspired.

$55 per person, $50 for Belden Members. Includes lunch and conversation. Beverages will be available for purchase.
