Lanier's father, Cheever Meaders, took over the business in 1920.[3] Meaders continued the traditional ceramic craftsmanship of his forefathers by producing alkaline-glazed stoneware solely working with a foot-powered treadle wheel and a wood-fired kiln. Like his father, he employed materials that were indigenous to the region in the production of his stoneware. His ash glaze was made of Albany slip and regular stonewear clay, sifted ashes from his kiln and powdered calcium carbonate. Meaders typically created pieces in earth-brown, olive-green and rust-gray similar to those while a young apprentice to his father.[4][5] CareerMeaders' contributions to Southern folk art have been recognized by multiple entities including the National Endowment for the Arts, the Smithsonian, and the Library of Congress. His work is exhibited in the Smithsonian Institution[6] and various museums across the United States. In 1978 he and his mother, Arie Meaders, were honorees of the Library of Congress with Meaders Pottery Day.[4] He was awarded the National Heritage Fellowship by the National Endowment for the Arts in 1983,[7] and was the recipient of the Governor's Award for the Arts in 1987.
