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.
Below are
some examples of Rizu’s work that are currently
available at the gallery.
