Drawing towards the end of our holiday now and I’m looking forward to being back in my little studio. In the meantime here are a few photos from our visit on Monday to The Leach Pottery, including the Japanese climbing kiln which was built by Bernard Leach and Shoji Hamada in 1920 and which was the first of its kind in the Western world.

Leach Pottery in St. Ives in 2018. Bernard Leach’s pottery is still in use. My mother met him there in the 1950s when she was an art student. Aged 16 I bought my first stoneware from his last student Nic Harrison. It was lovely for the two of us to visit the pottery on her last pilgrimage to Cornwall. #leachpottery #bernardleach #cornishpottery #cornishstudiopottery #nicharrisonceramics #nicharrisonstudiopottery #handthrown #potterystudio #stoneware #stivescornwall https://www.instagram.com/p/BvP_mjrHkuX/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1g7rbt88v3m56

This is the largest piece of my work currently available @theleachpottery I am especially pleased with the glaze on this one, this is a slightly different version of the glaze on the Yunomi in my last post but essentially made from the same materials. The glaze is lovely, deep green and fluid on the large smooth surfaces of the pot and breaks with nice light milky greens and creams with toasted details breaking through on the limpets. The bottles form is based on a buoy I was sketching whilst having lunch at Newlyn. The limpets are cast from shells my son Wilf collected on our beach adventures. It’s around 30cm high by almost the same wide. Available now with 10% discount on the Leach pottery website #bottle #vase #sea #buoy #newlyn #stives #cornwall #wildclay #ashglaze #green #shine #limpet #beach #beachcomber #collect #harvest #gather #forage #leachpottery #coast #pottery #potter #maker #ceramics #sitespecific #makeyourown #holiday #theyorkshirepotter #thebrockleypotter #yorkshire (at The Leach Pottery) https://www.instagram.com/p/CPU-rVPDAXF/?utm_medium=tumblr

Bottle vase with limpet decoration. This Vase is a practice piece to inform part of a range I am producing for the @theleachpottery The work being made explores materials I have gathered during trips to St Ives and the surrounding area. The glaze on this pot has been made with clay I dug from the cliffs at Godrevy head and silt from the red river mouth there. The form of the pot is based on a discarded Buoy I found and the limpet shells that I used to make moulds for the decoration were gathered by my son Wilf along the shore line at Hayle. The clay body is from Dobles clay pits just a little further up the coast at St Agnes I have been working on this glaze for the last couple of months and it’s finally starting to come good. It’s a clay heavy ash glaze as I wanted the clay and the silt to be the focus and the ash to take a back seat. The glaze has lovely milky flecks and sections close to a creamy Nuka as it gets thinner but the ash retains the fluidity and pooling. The glaze breaks to a golden brown toast on the proud details which is contrasted well by the milky tones surrounding them. The glaze has movement and swathes of deep transparent greens throughout. #ashglaze #buoy #leach #leachpottery #leachpotterystives #stives #cornwall #pottery #vase #limpet #green #glaze #pottersofinstagram #craft #art #artistsoninstagram #bottle #bottlevase #wildclay #clay #digyourown #handmade #natureinspired #photography #drip (at London, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/CGH_S80j1f7/?igshid=51y5xh4ghxbi

Heroes come in many guises, this gentleman, Bernard Leach, is one of mine.

I am very honoured to be @theleachpottery ‘potter of the week’ this week. To celebrate my move to rural North Yorkshire I made 12 Yunomi using materials harvested from the Moors, Dales and coastline around my new pottery @croftpottery to make this body of work exclusively for the Leach Pottery. The Yunomi are available to buy with 10% off this week from the @theleachpottery gallery shop and webshop. I am also teaching a Teabowl course @crownworkspottery in London on the 7th and 8th May. So if you are interested in how I make work or want to learn some new techniques come and throw some Yunomi and Chawan with me in a couple of weekends time. #yunomi #chawan #teabowl #tea #make #leach #leachpottery #cornwall #stives #kernow #northyorkshire #potter #potteroftheweek #maker #sale #theleachpottery #gallery #makersgonnamake #makersmovement #pottersofinstagram #cremerging #ceramics #cups #pots #pottery #croftpottery #northyorkshirepotter #thedales #themoors #saltburn (at Rainton) https://www.instagram.com/p/CcyKqKkjXfP/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Yunomi Ash glaze with raw ash and water stayed around the foot ring. The ash and water spray adds a different texture and colouration but it also interferes with the glazing line and makes the glaze more fluid causing a satisfying dribble #ashglaze #yunomi #cup #leach #leachpottery #ash #ashglaze #green #greentea #tea #teatime #drink #hold #use #pot #pottery #crofrpottery #northyorkshire #thirsk #rainton #saltburn #saltburnbysea #wildclay #wildglaze #makeyourown (at Rainton) https://www.instagram.com/p/CarSbVTgfFb/?utm_medium=tumblr

Yunomi Dark clay body with Hakeme brushed white slip and a ash glaze. Kind of a Green ash glaze take on Buncheong I suppose? I am really pleased with the way the glaze breaks from matte around rim to shiny lower down the waist, gives a nice contrast.
