A Potter's Book | Bernard Leach
Merchant: Oxfam
Merchant's Category: Media> Books
Known as the 'Father of British Studio Pottery' Bernard Leach was a remarkable, pioneering potter who, quite unlike everybody else at the time, saw pottery as a holistic combination of art, philosophy, design and craft. Bernard Leach took up pottery in 1911 and apprenticed himself to the sixth generation of Japanese potters working in the tradition of Ogata Kenzan, one of Kyoto's master ceramicists of the Edo period. Together with Tomimoto Kenkichi, Leach earned the title of Kenzan VII, denoting the seventh generation of Kenzan potters. In 1920 Leach returned to England, and, with his friend and fellow potter Hamada Shoji, he established the Leach Pottery in St. Ives, Cornwall, England. There Leach produced ceramics in the tradition of Asian pottery, especially raku. Front page is signed by Janice Tchalenko, an admired ceramicist, designer and artist who bridged the gap between art and large-scale production. She collaborated on textiles and ceramics with Designers Guild and Next Interiors, and created a series of satirical ceramic sculptures with Roger Law of Spitting Image. 294pp. With 4 colour plates, 77 half-tone illustrations in plates and many line drawings in text.
