About City in Bloom Ceramics

City in Bloom Ceramics is owned and operated by Meredith Bradley, a designer + full time maker, dedicated to bringing beautiful handmade pieces to an audience that desires more than the mass produced impersonal wares our lives are so often cluttered with. Her focus is on small batch tableware, that exhibit her skills in layout, pattern, and screenprinting. Inspired by florals, industrial imagery taken from the city, and fierce animals - each illustration is hand drawn, made into a screen, and then used to print directly on the surface of the wheel thrown or hand built porcelain pieces. Pieces celebrate a connection - between maker and form - between user and life's small moments that often pass by too fast and unnoticed. City in Bloom is broken into several product lines - right now, ESSENTIAL and RUSH HOUR are available for wholesale. ESSENTIAL is for the everyday. The pieces that make up this category allow a singular print to shine. Quietly patterned and uncomplicated, the colorways take center stage and they can be easily coordinated with tableware you already have. RUSH HOUR is for the hustler in you. The overlay of prints and patterns empowers me - and I hope you feel the same. I hope you drink your morning coffee out of one of these mugs and are pumped to take it on - whatever it is. The pieces in this category are patterned, colorful, and a reminder to resist just “staying busy” for the sake of it Read their story
