Hello! I’m Meral. I was born and raised in Istanbul. I graduated with a double major. Interior design and ceramic art in Marmara University fine Art faculity. I have undertaken many projects around the world. The idea of leaving a piece of myself to these projects sounded very enjoyable. I have attended many symposiums and workshops around the world. I trained my sweet students in the workshop we established in Istanbul. Now, I have been giving ceramics training in my own workshop for about 1 year. And I created my own ceramic brand. It calls Lori Ceramic. We are trying to grow now. I started producing personalized vases, lighting and furniture. I also design dinnerware. And I argue that details make our lives unique. You may come across my artworks in some galleries in Atlanta! For my artwork, check my instagram account! @Lori.ceramic
