WULU ORNAMENT 

The Gourd of Longevity, Happiness, and Positive Energy 

About Wulu

​Wulu represents good health, prosperity, long life, wealth, and abundance in Chinese culture. It is also called the "gourd of longevity" and is believed to remove negative energy. It is one of the eight treasures of feng shui, attracting good fortune.
Our Zen-inspired creations not only enhance living spaces but also champion inclusivity, by highlighting the unique talents and contributions of individuals with disabilities. Wulus foster environments where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.
Our mission is to craft a more inclusive, compassionate world — one Wulu at a time.

Each Wulu ornament features selected crystals, embedded in its glaze, creating a visually captivating and spiritually enriching experience. Our exclusive glazes are designed to promote health, harmony, longevity, positive energy flow, and balance.
Wulu ornaments are designed for indoor and outdoor spaces. Indoors only for the winter months.

The Artist 

Ceramic artist Vartan Poghosian has been formulating crystalline glazes for nearly 20 years with a passion to continue crystallization development and tradition.
Vartan founded 4 Elements Studio in 2010 in Utica, providing opportunities and resources to artists and the community, including individuals with a broad spectrum of disabilities, by offering workshops, gallery space, exhibitions, workspace, and equipment to the public.

The Partnership with Human Technologies 

The Wulu ornaments are crafted thanks to the partnership and generous backing of Human Technologies, which has set up a production studio aimed at creating jobs for individuals with disabilities. This collaboration marks a major step forward in securing financial stability for 4 Elements Studio and positively impacting our community.
