JEREMY
LEACH

Jeremy Leach is the younger son of David Leach, OBE and the grandson of Bernard Leach, CH, CBE. Born into this well-known family of potters in 1941 at St. Ives, he was educated at Dauntsey’s School, starting a pottery there – followed by an initial pottery training at Lowerdown Pottery, Bovey Tracey, then at the Central School and later Camberwell Schools of Art and Craft. At this time he made a cultural visit to the Lebanon, potting and exhibiting solo there in 1965. Later an interest in Chinese calligraphy developed which is evident in some of his work today.
