Xavier Toubes
Biography & Works
Xavier Toubes - Biography
Born Coruña, Spain. Xavier believes that there's an ongoing dialogue between the artist, object, and context. This is reflected through the alchemical nature of ceramics and his process of multiple glazes and firings, which keeps his interaction with his object open, allowing his work to be intuitively guided.
1970 he is the cofounder of the Grupo de Traballo Galego en Londres. He worked at Winchcombe Pottery (1977-8) Gloucestershire (England). He spent a year in residency at the Seminario de Estudios Cerámicos de Sargadelos (factory) Spain. He attended the New York State College of Ceramics at Alfred University 1980-83. After graduating with the Master of Fine Arts, he taught in the Art Department at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill until 1991. In 1989 he became involved in the creation of the European Ceramics Work Centre in ’s-Hertogenbosch, Netherlands, and was the Artistic Director from its opening in 1991 until the autumn of 1999 when he started teaching at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (Present: Professor Emeritus). He has exhibited frequently in the USA, Europe and Asia and lectured in numerous Universities and international forums. He is a member of the International Academic of Ceramics, Geneva, Switzerland. His awards include a grant from the Ministry of Culture, Spain in 1983. a National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship (USA) in 1986. In 1988 the North Carolina Arts Council Artist Fellowship and a Southern Center for Contemporary Art Individual Artist Fellowship. In 1993 first price at Bienal Europea de Cerámica, Museu de Cerámica de Manises and in 1995 Premio da Critica Galicia Artes Plásticas. His work is in private and public collections in Europe, USA and Asia.

Born Coruña, Spain. Xavier believes that there's an ongoing dialogue between the artist, object, and context. This is reflected through the alchemical nature of ceramics and his process of multiple glazes and firings, which keeps his interaction with his object open, allowing his work to be intuitively guided.
1970 he is the cofounder of the Grupo de Traballo Galego en Londres. He worked at Winchcombe Pottery (1977-8) Gloucestershire (England). He spent a year in residency at the Seminario de Estudios Cerámicos de Sargadelos (factory) Spain. He attended the New York State College of Ceramics at Alfred University 1980-83. After graduating with the Master of Fine Arts, he taught in the Art Department at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill until 1991. In 1989 he became involved in the creation of the European Ceramics Work Centre in ’s-Hertogenbosch, Netherlands, and was the Artistic Director from its opening in 1991 until the autumn of 1999 when he started teaching at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (Present: Professor Emeritus). He has exhibited frequently in the USA, Europe and Asia and lectured in numerous Universities and international forums. He is a member of the International Academic of Ceramics, Geneva, Switzerland. His awards include a grant from the Ministry of Culture, Spain in 1983. a National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship (USA) in 1986. In 1988 the North Carolina Arts Council Artist Fellowship and a Southern Center for Contemporary Art Individual Artist Fellowship. In 1993 first price at Bienal Europea de Cerámica, Museu de Cerámica de Manises and in 1995 Premio da Critica Galicia Artes Plásticas. His work is in private and public collections in Europe, USA and Asia.
