Bernard Leach was born in Hong Kong in 1887. He attended the Slade School of Fine Art and The London School of Art where he studied etching. In 1911, Bernard attended a pottery party, which was his first introduction to the art of ceramics. He met Shoji Hamada in 1919 and went back to England with him in 1920. This is when Leach began the Leach Pottery in St. Ives, Cornwall, England.
