The Leach Pottery

A working pottery and museum, shaping tradition since 1920.

About this business

Founded in 1920 by Bernard Leach and Shoji Hamada, The Leach Pottery is one of the most respected and influential studio potteries in the world. Located on the edge of St Ives, this working pottery and museum continues to inspire with its dedication to craftsmanship, education, and tradition. Visitors can explore exhibitions, tour the original workshop, shop handcrafted ceramics, or even take part in courses taught by skilled potters.

Still producing standard ware on site, the pottery is a living tribute to Leach’s legacy, balancing form, function, and a deep respect for handmade work.
