Bernard Leach - Jillian Smith

 Bernard Leach was a British potter who influenced many contemporary ceramic design. He promoted pottery as a combination of western and eastern arts. His work mainly focused on traditional Korean, Japanese and Chinese pottery. He published a book called A Potter's Book which talked about Leach's craft and techniques. I was very impressed with the specific piece of Leach's because of the texture and design that was used. It looks like the sides are overlapping with each other and just made the pot that much more interesting. I could only imagine the technique and kill Leach must have possessed in order to get the pot to look like that.
