About the Author
Bernard Leach (1887–1979) was a British studio potter, artist, and writer whose work helped shape modern ceramics. Born in Hong Kong and educated in England, he forged a lasting creative dialogue between East Asian traditions and Western craft, especially through his influential practice at the Leach Pottery in St Ives, Cornwall. His books and essays reflect a thoughtful engagement with art, design, spirituality, and the meaning of handmade objects. For readers interested in craft history and artistic exchange, Leach remains a foundational figure whose ideas continue to resonate across ceramic and visual-art communities.
