Bill Poceta is one of the leading studio glass artists working today. He creates one-of-a-kind blown glass vessels that resonate with both past and present. His work is influenced by various glass and ceramic”¨forms found in ancient cultures including Greek, Roman and Egyptian. Being a former painter, the surface of his work becomes a painting in glass. The reference for his surface designs can be traced to the Minoan culture, 3000 B.C. Although his reference is ancient functional form, his glass vessels are modern and architectural. Poceta’s museum quality work engages the viewer with beautiful forms and surface designs that can be traced to the late Bronze Age.
