Meet the Maker Behind RELIQ
THE STORY BEHIND RELIQ
Built by Hand.
Shaped by Curiosity.
What started as a small experiment at home gradually became years of making, learning, sharing, and exploring different materials, colors, and forms.
Over time, I began sharing my work with a growing craft community in China, meeting people at exhibitions, listening to feedback, and continuously refining the way I work.
RELIQ was created to bring that journey — and the pieces that come from it — to collectors around the world.
A Community Built in China
Before RELIQ reached collectors worldwide, my work had already grown a passionate following across China’s craft and social communities.
From the Workshop
to the Exhibition Floor
RELIQ pieces have been presented at offline exhibitions in China, creating opportunities to meet collectors, makers, and people who appreciate handcrafted work face-to-face.
Exhibitions let me experience something a screen cannot — seeing how people respond to the materials, textures and details in person. Those conversations and reactions continue to shape what I make next.
Made by Hand.
One Piece at a Time.
Every RELIQ piece begins with material, patience, and a series of decisions made entirely by hand. From the first selection to the final form, each step leaves its own character on the finished piece.
Material
Every piece begins with selecting material for its color, character, texture, and the possibilities it can offer.
Shaping
The form develops gradually by hand. Proportion, balance, angle, and surface are adjusted throughout the process.
Finished Piece
The finished piece keeps the subtle variations created during the process, making every handcrafted result slightly different.
I don't try to make every piece perfectly identical. The differences are part of what makes handcrafted work worth collecting.
