Bernard Leach-Michelle

 

Bernard Leach was a British studio pottery and art teacher. He is regarded as the "Father of British studio pottery"This is Bernard Leach's Spherical Vase that he made in 1927. Leach promoted pottery as a combination of Western and Eastern arts and philosophies. His work focused on traditional Korean, Japanese and Chinese pottery, in combination with traditional techniques from England and Germany, such as slipware and glass ware.This piece of pottery stood out to me because of the shape and the design.  I like that it was sphere, it gives a feeling of simplicity.
