Leach Pottery 100 years

The Leach Pottery was founded by Bernard Leach and Shoji Hamada in 1920. This exhibition, drawn from the collections of the Crafts Study Centre, is a tribute to the centenary. The works on display include ceramics acquired since the year 2000, although some early works by Hamada and Leach from the 1920s are also exhibited: these from the great founding gift made by Bernard Leach to the Crafts Study Centre in the 1970s. Here, Director of the Crafts Study Centre talks us through the exhibition.
