SETTING THE PLACE

New Leach Tableware

Christmas 2011
New Year 2012

As Christmas approaches, the Leach Pottery’s focuses its showroom exhibition on the complete range of new tableware made on site at the pottery.

Designed by Lead Potter, Jack Doherty, this contemporary domestic tableware continues a legacy of producing high quality studio pottery and following the philosophy of Bernard Leach who believed that functional everyday objects should also be beautiful.

The tableware is made from locally sourced clay in stoneware and porcelain with a soda glaze. Inspired by the landscape and coastline of the Penwith peninsula, each piece is completely individual, unique in colour and texture, united by form and function.

It is made on site in the purpose built studios by Jack and our team of young potters. Apprentices have always been trained on site under the Leach tradition and the workshops have been home to some of the most influential potters of the 20^th century.

Our modern lifestyle is reflected in the design, to be practical and functional in a domestic situation. All the tableware is dishwasher/ microwave proof and safe to use in the oven.

“ It looks as good in New York as it does in St Ives “
