Tall Haptic Vessel I (Carved)

About Tall Haptic Vessel I (Carved)

This unique tall ceramic vessel is handmade.

Bill Greaves creates handsome contemporary ceramics inspired by the colours, forms and textures found in nature. The Canadian ceramicist hand coils his eclectic vessels to build the form. The remarkable visible texture of this elegant piece is created by carving the surface. The palette is a neutral off white. The interior is an earthy dark clay colour. The former architect loves the tactile quality of clay and the almost endless possibilities that working with this ancient material possesses. One of a series.

“I called the series ‘haptic’, which literally means sense of touch, as I really want people to touch my work. I want people to feel the textures.” Bill Greaves
