Bernard Leach

Bernard Leach was born in Hong Kong in the year of 1887. He always had an interest in art. Leach first worked with clay when he was in Tokyo in 1911. This experience inspired his career and he later established his own business with his friend Shoji Hamada. The studio name was St. Ives Pottery. Today he is considered the "father" of the Studio Pottery Movement and his work is known all around the world. I found this piece of his work and I loved the simplicity of the design and the way the colors compliment each other.
