I DEDICATE THIS BOOK TO ALL POTTERS
Bernard Leach was a British potter who learned his craft in Japan, and in turn wrote and educated aspiring potters around the world from his workshop in St. Ives.
This now-famous book was the first treatise to be written by a potter on the workshop traditions handed down by Koreans and Japanese from the greatest period of Chinese ceramics, the Sung dynasty. He inspired countless pupils, including Bernard Leach and Clary Illian - two other Home Books authors who became authors and teachers.
A Potter’s Book is a classic for a lot of reasons, a must-have for every pottery library.
