Hull-House Kilns

Hull-House Kilns was a commercial enterprise that created hand-made dinnerware and decorative ceramics.

[1] A notable potter working at Hull-House Kilns was Jesús Torres.

It was unable to remain viable during the Great Depression and the rise of larger commercial pottery operations.

[1] In 2000 the University of Illinois Chicago held an exhibit entitled Pots of Promise: Mexicans and Pottery at Hull-House, 1920-40.

[7] Examples of Hull-House Kilns pottery are in the Art Institute of Chicago[8] and the Hull House Museum.
