Leach Pottery

About

The Leach Pottery was set up by Bernard Leach and Shoji Hamada in 1920. Now a museum, working pottery and site of teaching. You will learn about the history of the Pottery and the many potters that have spent time training and working at the Leach Pottery. You can explore the 100-year-old Pottery, the clay room, the throwing room with kick wheels and our Japanese climbing kiln. We also have two exhibition spaces, the Cube Gallery and the Entrance Gallery, where you will see a changing programme of exhibitions focusing on the Pottery's history and the work of contemporary potters. A visit to the Leach Pottery ends in our shop, now inside Bernard Leach's cottage. Here, you can shop our Standard Ware range and beautifully curated pottery selection by Leach Potters and talented individual makers.
