What is Liuli ?

The term liuli first appeared 3,000 years ago. It is the archaic Chinese term for glass. In 1987 Loretta H. Yang, leading star of Asian cinema and Chang Yi, esteemed New Wave director, founded Asia's first liuli art studio and named it LIULIGONGFANG. The two parts of the name: liuli - glass and gongfang - workshop, was chosen for its cultural significance and their belief in constant exploration and study.

For the two, liuli is the resurrection of the 2,000 year old lost-art of Chinese glass.

Liuli symbolizes the meditation of clarity and transparency in the context of Chinese Buddhism.

Liuli reflects the Chinese philosophy of “impermanence”.
