David Leach established Lowerdown Pottery
at Bovey Tracy after moving from St. Ives way back in 1955. Since
David's death in 2005, his son Jeremy has continued potting at
Lowerdown. This summer Jeremy will be joined by brother Simon,
they plan to open up the pottery and show visitors traditional
pottery being made.
The plan is to work under the banner of Leach Family Ceramics.
The showroom will have selling displays of pots by Jeremy, Simon
and also Johnny Leach who pots over at Muchelney in Somerset.
There will also be a small exhibition of David Leach's work.
According to Simon, their objective is "to make good
pots in our family pottery". The work will be of an
individual nature rather than a range of standard ware. Although
all 3 sons have their own individual styles evidence of their
father's influence and indeed his father's influence, is clearly
visible. The current plan is to open to the public from July 10th
to September 10th 2006. If you are planning a visit please contact
Simon Leach first, his email is simcat@wanadoo.es.
Simon is based in Valencia, Spain.
