Our vision is that potters at all levels will engage with the Leach Pottery as part of a thriving UK community. Through working with clay, the Leach Pottery will bring enjoyment, inspiration, new skills and increased well-being to peoples' lives. The Leach Pottery, with its significant historical importance and contemporary activities, will be nationally and internationally recognised as the home of Studio Pottery.
The Leach Pottery advances and promotes pottery as an art form using craft and skills to bring beauty, enjoyment and well-being to life. We do this through inspiring, making, training and teaching, engaging people, and promoting the Leach legacy. History: we will inspire others through the ethos of Bernard Leach and the Leach Pottery's traditions.
