Description

A Potter's Book by Bernard Leach is an account of the standards and aesthetics of various pottery styles, including English slipware, stoneware, Japanese raku, and Oriental porcelain. Leach shares his vision for pottery as an art form that combines craft, design, and philosophy.

First published in 1940, this book reflects Leach's deeply-held convictions about the essential qualities of good pottery. He explores the materials and techniques used in different styles, providing insight into the work of a master potter who was instrumental in shaping British studio pottery.
