Mike's Pots

LeachPottery 2005

The Leach Pottery was started by Bernard Leach way back in the 1920's when he returned from Japan with the young Shoji Hamada. Over the years many potters have learned their trade at the Leach Pottery. As I write, the pottery is currently closed pending redevelopment.
