This piece showcases Leach’s signature aesthetic earthy, expressive, and rooted in the traditions of English craft pottery. About the Potter Born in 1939 at the Leach Pottery in St Ives, John Leach was the eldest grandson of legendary potter Bernard Leach. His formative years were shaped by apprenticeships with David Leach, Colin Pearson, Ray Finch, and Bernard himself. After helping establish a pottery in California, John founded Muchelney Pottery in 1965, where he developed a distinctive style inspired by the Somerset landscape and a commitment to sustainability. ? In the mid-1980s, John planted and nurtured a woodland to sustainably fuel his kilns-an enduring legacy of his environmental ethos. ?
