"The legacy of British ceramic artist Bernard Leach (1887-1979) encompasses his widely read books, his prolific production of pottery, his many lectures and demonstrations, and the students who worked with him and went on to their own distinguished careers in the field. Raised in the East and captivated by Eastern traditions of ceramic art, Leach's passion was 'to merge the art of the technical West with that of the organic East'. He endeavored to straddle the barrier between Eastern and Western cultures, blending the best of each to attain a pure and simple style. Arguably the most influential British potter of the twentieth century, Bernard Leach's vision of the craft continues to generate both admiration and controversy."
