Rizu Takahashi, the
internationally respected wood-firing potter, was born in Hiroshima, Japan in
1941. From the early 1990s he regularly exhibited his pottery throughout
Japan where he work in Mino, an area steeped in ceramic tradition. However,
after meeting a female French painter, who is now his partner, he relocated
to the South of France, where he continues to pot and experiment with local
and Spanish clays. In the past he has been a resident artist at the Archie
Bray Foundation for Ceramic Art in Montana, USA and during July 2006 helped with the
construction of an anagama kiln in the Cumbria Kiln Park in the UK.
Rizu took part in the
exhibition “3 Japanese Wood-firing Potters” at the Harlequin during June
2007.
Below are
some examples of Rizu’s work that are currently available at the gallery.
