Leach Pottery
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Leach Pottery was founded by Bernard Leach and Shoji Hamada in St Ives, Cornwall, South West England, in 1920. The pottery is still in existence although now closed awaiting refurbishment as a working pottery, museum and gallery.
The Leach Pottery was acquired by Penwith District Council in December 2005 and, when it reopens to the public in 2006, will be operated by a trust dedicated to the memory of Bernard Leach and the Leach pottery which was so influential on generations of studio potters from many countries.
