Display artist/maker:

Claudi Casanovas

Born: 1956, Spain, Barcelona

Ceramicist. Born in Barcelona, his original training was in ceramics and theatre. He is an innovative and creative maker, experimenting by incorporating other matter into the clay. Many of his pieces are very large and muscular, some up to 300 kgs in weight and 2 meters high. Fascinated by the varied land forms created by erosion, deposition, wind and rain, he incorporates these effects in his work, sometimes carving and sandblasting the pieces which have a tactile presence. One major influence was the Japanese potter Ryoji Koie, whom he worked with for two months shortly before the 1991 Aberystwyth International Ceramics Festival
