Born in Hong Kong, profoundly influenced by both an upbringing and studies in Japan, Leach developed a vision of pottery that interwove art, craft, design and philosophy. In 1920 he co-founded the Leach Pottery in St Ives, Cornwall, and \"A Potter's Book\" was first published in 1940. Within these pages Leach communicates his deeply-held convictions, through an account of the standards and materials essential to English slipware, stoneware, Japanese raku and Oriental porcelain. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFaber Finds is devoted to restoring to readers a wealth of lost or neglected classics and authors of distinction.
