The Leach Pottery
The Leach Pottery, founded in 1920 by Bernard Leach and Shoji Hamada, is among the most respected and influential studio potteries in the world. Over the last hundred years scores of potters have come to the Leach Pottery to work and train, creating a uniquely international environment on the Cornish coast.
The recently restored Leach Pottery site includes a museum which celebrates the life and work of Bernard Leach and visitors can see the original pottery workshop built in 1920, including the first Japanese climbing kiln in the western world.
At the shop you will find the new Leach Standard Ware and original work by local, national and international potters. The pottery’s Entrance Gallery houses a permanent collection including works by Bernard Leach, Janet Leach, David Leach, Shoji Hamada and William Marshall, while the main display space hosts a changing programme of exhibitions including, for 2016, Trevor Corser, Michael Cardew, Margaret and David Frith and Amanda Brier.
During the school holidays family friendly creative sessions enable you and your child to enjoy hands-on making activities together.
