A small sign with the words “Camí de l’Església” [Church Way] marks the way to El Racó [The Corner], a country house located in Gallifa, a small village in the inland area of the province of Barcelona, where some of the most recognisable pieces in the history of twentieth-century painting and ceramics were created. Following the path, you can see through the leaves of the trees a wooden sign that reads “Fundació J. Llorens Artigas”. This is, the foundation created in 1989 by the sculptor Joan Gardy Artigas as a tribute to his father —Josep Llorens Artigas (b. Barcelona, 1892–1980), to acknowledge his work with ceramics as an artistic discipline while fostering education, culture and the arts.
