present Simon Leach
“a British tradition”
March 5 & 6, 2011 10 am – 4 pm
Peterborough Public Library
Peterborough, Ontario
Simon Leach was educated in Somerset, U.K. and spent many years honing his craft. He has traveled extensively in Europe, the Middle East, the U.S. and Canada. For six years, he operated a pottery/showroom in Spain, using stoneware, porcelain and raku, teaching and demonstrating two week workshops. His experience includes firing in wood, gas, oil, raku, and electric kilns and he has built a gas kiln for studio production.
This workshop will include how to make and apply handles, pitchers, lidded pieces, fluting, with emphasis on successful production work.
“Growing up surrounded by a family of potters, I draw on those early influences; the work of my father (David Leach) and grandfather (Bernard Leach), Japanese, and Korean art. I have assimilated my surroundings, therefore, my work has become a natural expression of what is personal to me. I find the ongoing challenge of discovering my own visual language and voice as a ceramic artist both exciting and rewarding. It is a lifetime journey!”
