Claudi Casanovas was born in 1956. He first studied for the theatre in Barcelona, then
trained as a ceramist in Olot (Catalonia). He was a member of the Coure Potters' Cooperative from 1978 to 1987.
In 1992 he won first prize at the III International Ceramics Competition in Mino, Japan.
He lives and works in Riudaura (near Olot) since 1986.
His new exhibition at Galerie Besson is entitled "Works from Japan" which were pieces created in the studio of Ryoji Koie in Shitara,
Japan. This followed a visit by Koie and six other Japanese potters to Olot for a workshop in 1986,
following which Claudi Casanovas, as one of the workshops organisers was invited to travel to Japan.
The eleven works are in mixed stoneware clays and were created in Shitara in 1990 during that visit,
they were then exhibited in Tokyo and subsequently stored in Shitara from then until now.
This offers a great opportunity to see some superb pieces of Claudi Casanovas work. (information courtesy of Galerie Besson)
