Bill Greaves
Haptic Series Cobalt & White Extra-Large - textured, ceramic vessel sculpture

2023

About the Item

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.

  • Metamorphosis
    By Jared Fitzgerald
    Located in Southampton, NY
    “Metamorphosis” is a unique over-glaze Chinese porcelain pot by renowned ceramist and painter, Jared FitzGerald. Blowing in the wind. The wind crosses to the mountain and loops lazily in circles in the blue sky. “Metamorphosis” is part of a new series from Fitzgerald’s studios in Jingdezhen, China. This series uses over-glaze, a new ceramic firing technique that diverges from Fitzgerald’s previous ceramic practice, which used the traditional under-glaze technique with blue and white colors. Over-glaze allows FitzGerald to paint with a range of colors; unlike with other glaze techniques, such as under- or middle-glaze, over-glaze allows FitzGerald to paint onto an already fired ceramic panel, so there is no serious change in the color of the pigments. This is a special technique which allows the artist to mix Chinese painting techniques with western techniques derived from oil painting. Over-glaze decoration is considered one of the most important modern glaze techniques in Jingdezhen now. The traditional overglaze decorative colors in Jingdezhen include Gucai (antique colors...
