The Leach Pottery 1920 - 2008

Open to the public 8 March 2008

The Leach Pottery in St Ives was established by Bernard Leach 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 major capital project comes to completion. The working pottery is restored to full operation, with training facilities reflecting the original Leach ethos, now under the guidance of Lead Potter, Jack Doherty.

A new museum has been created on site to celebrate the life, work, influences and legacy of Bernard Leach. Exhibition, gallery and shop spaces provide regular shows throughout the year featuring work by leading regional, national and international studio potters.

This website is under construction, please come back soon.
