the leach pottery

You can see my work in the beautiful shop at the Leach Pottery in St Ives. I tend to replenish stock while I am teaching there, about eight times per year. Thank you to this wonderful pottery for welcoming my work so kindly. Founded in 1920 by Bernard Leach and Shoji Hamada, the Leach Pottery is among the most respected and influential potteries in the world.
