# The QL at Work and QLAY

Tariki is a 2nd generation ceramics studio that produces a wide range of stoneware art. We make everything from platters, bowls, garden tables, to large scale ceramic and steel sculptures. Tariki was created by my father in the mid fifties. He moved the studio to Meriden in 1961. The studio has a family tradition of expanding the medium of ceramics. Eric O’Leary, the artist designer has taken the field of ceramics into large sculptures and architectural ceramics. The photographs show a production item the Chan Garden Table and a large recently commissioned sculpture. We have customers all over the world. Please call or send for additional information if you are interested in the work. Now on to the QL part of this story.
