The Studio presents an exciting array of new works eagerly made in response to an object from the Museum; each potter using it to inform their creative journey. The challenge playfully engages the wider Leach tradition, of how a potter takes inspiration and develops their work in union with their creativity and the needs of culture.

The exhibition features pots by: Roelof Uys, Lead Potter; Matt Foster, Production Manager; Britta James, Production Potter; Ellie Woods, Production Potter; Amy Wilson, 2023 Apprentice; Callum Cowie, 2024 Apprentice.

The objects seen here are those which each potter has responded to. These pieces are part of the Leach Pottery Collection, or are kindly loaned, and can be found in our displays and in the Museum as part of your visit:

The exhibition runs in the Leach Pottery Entrance Gallery.
All works for sale.

Free admission; open Monday - Saturday, 10am - 5pm & Sunday, 11am - 4pm (up to 27 October only)
