Learning at the Leach Pottery

 

Resources available

Schools Work

The Leach Pottery offers workshops across all Key Stages.

Key Stages 1 to 3 - include practical hands-on activities such as making a coil pot or tile, sketching, floor puzzles, a workshop trail and watching pots being made on the wheel. Pupils can explore the old pottery with its original kilns and equipment as well as the new museum and exhibition area. Visits provide the basis for a cross curricula project incorporating elements of heritage, geography, science, literacy, maths, local history, myths and legends and art and design.

Key Stages 4 & 5 - we can arrange bespoke tours and activities including raku firings

Short Courses - Outline

Whether you are professional potter, student, a keen amateur or a complete beginner, an intensive few days working in the environment of Bernard Leach's own studio within the historic Leach Pottery is a unique and rarefied experience. This is an opportunity to brush up on techniques, explore new approaches, or just have dedicated time and space to develop your own practice.
