  1. Shallow Bowl by Bernard Leach

  2. Bernard Leach • British studio potter and art teacher • Regarded as the “Father of British studio pottery” • Grew up in Japan where he became studied pottery • Later moved to St. Ives, Cornwall where he built Leach Pottery • Included a traditional wood burning Japanese kiln

  3. Bernard Leach Continued • Worked closely with Shoji Hamada • Saw pottery as a combination of art, philosophy, design and craft • Published “A Potter’s Book” in 1940 which helped jumpstart his career • Advocated simple and utilitarian forms (function over form) • Taught many potters that later became famous in their own areas

  4. Personal Thoughts on Leach • Now answer one of the following ?’s or come up with your own ideas how your artwork relates to your life. • Take all the time provided and write at least a half page (you will be sharing these with your neighbor when we’re done) • If you were going to make a container for something that doesn’t normally need a container what would it be and what would it look like? Do you think functional (useful) pottery is better than non-functional pottery?
