meet liana mei

Liana Mei is an East Coast native who moved to Washington state in 2020. Learning pottery amidst the thriving local artist community, she found ceramics to be an immersive and tactile craft centered on mindfulness, creativity, and adaptability. Enamored by the pacific northwest, her porcelain home wares are inspired by the local landscape in color. Her work features hand-painted patterns that evoke the peaceful "flow state" it takes to create art. Liana Mei Pottery offers beautiful, functional ceramics that bring joy to your daily routines.

What's New?

My "creative flow" hand-painted mug design is key part of my "aesthetic" and I've recently tried to do a couple experiments that might continue keeping this design interesting and fresh this year. I tried 3 variations:

New colors - greens and pinks will likely be a more regular offering
New tool - I tried an underglaze pencil instead of a paintbrush, this gave a scratch texture that I'm not sure I'll continue with.
New shape - I did enjoy doing vertical lines instead of the "flow" pattern and this is satisfying. I expect I'll make more of these.

It's always a delight to try new things!
