The Leach Pottery in St Ives was established by Bernard Leach and Shoji Hamada in 1920. One of the great figures of 20th century art, Leach played a crucial pioneering role in creating an identity for artist potters in Britain and around the world.
In March 2008, a £1.7 million capital project was completed, giving new life to the Leach Pottery and enabling it to set up in production and open its doors to the public once again.

In our new exhibition, we look through the eyes of Hamada Shoji, the pottery's co-founder, at the very early days of the pottery, the work that he, Leach and their colleagues produced and at the town of St Ives then - already an artists' colony but with an eye to the new world of tourism
