Background
In 1920 Bernard Leach returned from Japan
with Shoji Hamada and established the Leach Pottery on a
hill above St. Ives in Cornwall. They were soon joined by
Michael Cardew, the first of a long line of young would
be potters eager to learn their trade under the gaze of
the master. Some of these students and apprentices left
to set up their own potteries and so the Leach influence
spread around the world.
Here I attempt to combine information from
various sources to show a family tree starting with Bernard
Leach and ending with the the most recent recruit, Annabelle
Smith who is the 2017 Seasalt sponsored apprentice.
I know that this tree is incomplete. If
you would like to help me with its development or correct
any inaccuracies please use the Contact
page.
