Bernard Leach: A Life and Work
Discover the story behind one of Britain's most influential studio potters. Bernard Leach (1887-1979) was a pioneer in creating an identity for artist potters, drawing inspiration from both East and West to create exquisite pieces that reflect his unique approach to modernism.
This biography provides a detailed account of Leach's life and its connection to his art, exploring his working methods, writings, philosophy, recognition in Japan and Britain, and enduring legacy. Written by Emmanuel Cooper, an internationally renowned potter, this outstanding work sheds new light on the complex man behind the pots.
