Clive Hannan

Based in Bobcaygeon, Clive Hannan creates handcrafted turned and power-carved woodware that highlights the natural beauty, character, and organic grain of locally sourced Canadian timber. Working from his workshop in the heart of the Kawarthas, Clive produces one-of-a-kind functional art and decorative statement pieces, ranging from live-edge bowls and spalted hardwood vases to intricate, free-flowing carved forms.

With a deep appreciation for traditional craftsmanship and tactile design, Clive focuses on revealing the unique story hidden within every piece of wood, whether transforming locally salvaged hardwoods or accentuating natural edge figure. Designed to be both displayed and held, his pieces blend rugged natural form with fine finish detailing, offering functional art lovers a direct connection to the natural heritage of Ontario’s countryside.

"Every piece of wood has a second life waiting inside it. My job on the lathe is simply to slow down and help it take shape."
