meet your tutor

Qian Liu specialises in throwing forms either in stoneware or porcelain. Qian was previously apprenticed to Tom Knowles Jackson ( UK) and Steven Sheridan ( Australia), both of which specialise in thrown functional wares.

The aspiration behind Qian's pursuit of pottery is to create well considered functional wares that poise between prose and poetry: work situated in the containment of utility (prose) yet able to offer beyond its functional realm (poetry).
