CLAUDE GAGET (BORN 1948) Born in 1948, Claude Gaget settled in La Borne in 1973. He first worked with Pierre Mestre, before setting up his own studio in Boisbelle. His resolutely sculptural ceramic practice revolves around anthropomorphic figures and forms inspired by nature - notably his emblematic trees - which he shapes into powerful, balanced volumes. Rooted in the ancient tradition of stoneware, he favors wood firing, which gives his works a palette of warm, reddish tones.
