Collection: BILL GREAVES

Working primarily with a coarse stoneware clay body, Bill coil builds his vessel forms and continues to scrape and carve to create his deeply textured surfaces. Multiple layers of slip and glaze are applied to accentuate surface depth and to layer colour. 

Bill holds a Master of Architecture from Yale University and was a practicing architect in NY for a number of years prior to turning full time to his ceramic practice. Bill is drawn to clay as a material that he can manipulate and form, in a way that was impossible in architecture where plans are executed by engineers and construction crews. Bill thoroughly enjoys being able to work through the entire process of creation from an initial idea through to the tangible output or artwork.
