High Touch boutique, a family-owned ceramics shop, closed its Evanston location in September. Formerly located at 1551 Sherman Ave., the boutique has now shifted to online sales.

Originally, the boutique opened its Evanston shop — its second branch — in late 2022. It sold Middle Eastern and Persian ceramics, home decor, statues and metal crafts. 

Each product sold is handmade and all the pottery is made in a large production studio south of Chicago.

High Touch offers many unique ceramic pieces from intricately painted bowls and vases to expertly sculpted and curved decorative pieces. Each piece is marketed as organic and eco-friendly and can appeal to almost everyone. 

Those who are interested in seeing the pottery can visit the High Touch Spa and Boutique in Wilmette.

While we are sad that High Touch has left its Evanston location, we are glad that it will be able to continue to sell its handmade ceramics online.
