Bernard Leach

Bernard Leach, full name Bernard Howell Leach, is a British ceramics artist and teacher, considered the founder of the British school of pottery, bringing together East and West through him.

Because he spent most of his life in the Far East, imbibing a particular aesthetic, Bernard Leach's style is a combination of Western and Eastern art and philosophy. In particular, there is a marked influence of Korean, Japanese and Chinese ceramics, as well as traditional techniques from England and Germany. Leach viewed ceramics as a holistic combination of art, philosophy, design, and craft.
