Within the realm of ceramics, Ian Grieve specialises in combining hand-building and thrown works whilst enjoying the challenge of clay sculpture. Ian Grieve with functional pottery |
In his unique Australian series of contemporary art pieces, Ian draws upon the environment as his inspiration. These pieces evoke symbolic imagery and establish a dialogue with the viewer that projects beyond the visual impression.

The Peace Pot was selected for the World Competition of Arts and Crafts Kanazawa 1999 in Japan. A thrown and handbuilt work, the pot features six male and female heads rising from an ocean-inspired glaze. The pot represents a universal hope for world peace. Each of the heads is covered with copper gold, representing the rich diversity of human kind and the precious nature of each individual within.
