Leach Pottery

The Leach Pottery in St Ives is considered by many to be the birthplace of British studio pottery. One of the great figures of 20th century art, Bernard Leach played a crucial pioneering role in creating an identity for artist potters. Today, the old pottery with its famous ‘climbing kiln’ is preserved and open to the public with exhibitions showing the story of Bernard Leach’s life and legacy. A new working pottery now operates, producing new work on site, while our shop and gallery display regular selling exhibitions and showcases by leading contemporary potters, locally, nationally and internationally.

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.
