A Potter's Book

First published in 1940, A Potter’s Book is a manifesto of sorts, bridging East and West with practical Japanese and Korean workshop techniques passed down from the Sung dynasty period in China. A masterful studio potter and teacher, Bernard Leach taught some of the most prolific ceramicists of his time. We can draw a line from East Fork back to Leach through our founder Alex Matisse, who apprenticed under Mark Hewitt, who apprenticed under Michael Cardew, who apprenticed under Bernard Leach.
