About Haptic Series Cobalt & White Extra-Large

A former architect, Bill Greaves enjoys the freedom of expressing his artistic vision by hand forming vessels out of clay. His pieces emulate natural shapes and colours—this bulb-shaped vessel is rendered in a stunning cobalt blue and white accentuated by a highly textured vertical pattern. Both the irregular rim of the vessel and its interior offer contrast in a natural clay colour. One of a series.

“Everything is informed by the free form of hand building—the exact opposite from architecture where you make every decision in advance.” Bill Greaves

Originally trained as an architect at Yale University, Bill studied ceramics at Alex Yeung Studio in Toronto from 2017-2019 before setting up his studio near Consecon, Ontario, in 2020.
