FROM GARY TOPP, CHAIR OF TRUSTEES
This has been another exceptional year at the Leach Pottery combining the huge organisational effort of a major capital project with the challenges of running a very busy and productive arts organisation.
The Leach Pottery has a wonderful elasticity of scales in play at all times. On the one hand it is a domestic scale physical site on the edge of St Ives, on the other hand it carries an international weight and prominence in the ceramics and craft worlds. It is at the vanguard of both historic and contemporary practice, blending the ethics and integrity of both and spanning many geographies and time zones. It also has many expectations placed upon it – to be the champion and fierce defender of Bernard’s complex legacy whilst also training the next generation of studio potters through its apprenticeship and residency schemes whilst turning a profit from its studio enterprises. In parallel with these already significant tasks it delivers and supports a wonderful array of educational and community projects working with many local communities, young and old, beginners and experts and continuously promoting the joy and exhilaration of working with clay.
And let’s not forget the exhibition programme, the retail shop showcasing the finest national and international potters and the museum quality care of the collections. We also continue to maintain our long relationship with the ceramics community in Japan including international residencies and frequent dialogue. All of these many tasks and projects, always delivered with skill and determination, can only happen because of the exceptional talent of the team at the Leach.
The Trustees, as always, are hugely grateful to the whole team for their many areas of expertise, commitment and delivery across the 2024/5 year.
This list of achievements would be extraordinary in any normal circumstance: but it is markedly so in the current situation.
Alongside these significant tasks we have embarked on the largest capital project in the history of the Leach Pottery beginning the transformation of our site into an iconic entrance to St Ives, signalling the town’s remarkable creative history. Major capital projects are peppered with technical challenges; road closures, pipes and foundations, cost and logistics, and all of these featured regularly in 2024/5. But the buildings are emerging wonderfully and the site is being transformed in a way that will harness our successes, legacies and histories and support them in the future. The new kilns alongside the retold Leach story and the enhanced community and education spaces will support the next generation of potters. This has been a year of building and preparation, hard work and constant change, overcoming obstacles and continuing to make progress.
My sincere thanks to the many people – staff, trustees, volunteers, stakeholders, neighbours, supporters, funders, communities and visitors who have all helped to keep Leach moving forward and playing our part in the safeguarding of the future of studio pottery. Together, we have achieved another milestone in the long history of the Leach Pottery, and over the next few years we look forward to sharing this with as many of you as we can.
Gary Topp Chair of Trustees
VOLUNTEERS
Volunteers are a highly valued and appreciated part of our team. We would not be able to open our museum seven days a week without them. We are incredibly grateful for the time, energy and enthusiasm our volunteers offer at the Leach Pottery and we can be sure the museum would not be the same without them, writes Hannah Tracey our new volunteer coordinator.
I started at the Leach Pottery in November 2024. The Volunteer Coordinator role was a new role funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund and there had not been a dedicated member of staff to recruit, train and support volunteers previously. There was however already a core of committed, friendly and experienced volunteers who support us on the museum welcome desk, so my first step was to ensure they were happy and recruit a new volunteer to fill any gaps. We also benefit from volunteers who enhance the experience of our community and family participants.
There wasn’t a committed team of volunteers for this role, so my next step was to advertise for new volunteers to support the Learning and Participation team. We have now interviewed and recruited four new volunteers, with more applications still coming. I have also recruited and trained 11 new oral history volunteers to gather stories and memories from people and potters with memories of The Leach Pottery over the past century.
Having a dedicated volunteer coordinator frees up time for the Learning and Participation, Front of House and Curatorial teams to focus on their own work, while enhancing the programmes with volunteers to support them. My role also ensures there is a go-to person for any support needs our volunteers have.
“ My wife and I moved to the St Ives area three years ago. Living just up the road from the Leach Pottery made it an easy decision to take up a volunteer position there.
The pottery receives a wonderful mix of visitors, some of whom are potters in their own right - each visitor has a story to tell. The staff are lovely, and other volunteers are friendly and willing to help. ”
Volunteer Andreas Priestland
LEARNING AND PARTICIPATION
Our Learning and Participation team worked with more than 4,500 people across workshops, events and classes this year.
Communities
Over the last year we have supported the following 15 community organisations: Promas Carers, Social Prescribing, Wednesday Wanderers with the Sensory Trust, Trelya, NHS Epilepsy Nurses, Clear with the St Ives School of Painting, Penzance Memory Café, Penzance Women’s Institute, St Ives Memory Café, Trewidden Care Home, Pengarth Day Centre, Redruth Memory Café, Penwith Mental Health Support Services, The Women’s Centre Cornwall, Barnardo’s Young Carers.
Experiences of participants in the community groups range from living with life limiting illness, mental illness, bereavement, unpaid caring responsibilities, memory loss, learning disabilities, sight loss, childhood deprivation, old age deprivation, at risk of offending or experience of the criminal justice system, loneliness to recovery from illness or addiction.
In addition to attending local events and festivals, we run Mud Club (1825 years), Community Afternoons and Mud Pie (7-12 years).
Young People
Four local young people have joined us for free monthly kick wheel workshops across the year. All have become confident throwers!
Wednesday Wanderers
The Wednesday Wanderers’ (A collaboration between the Leach pottery and the Sensory Trust, with people living with dementia in the St Ives area) workshops have taken place at the National Trusts’ Godolphin House this year. Their focuses have included, co-producing a collection of beakers to drink from during workshops, co-producing a collection of honey pots and terracotta pots.
Promas Carers
Promas Carers, a group supporting local adults with caring responsiblities, have co-produced a collection of plates and cups which resulted in a shared banquet using their wares. The group have also had day-long workshops focusing on their throwing skills.
Community Afternoon
These weekly workshops for current and previous participants on our community programme (through our partnerships) have gained momentum this year with all workshops having long waiting lists. In the Spring term the Community Afternoon participants were introduced to developing glazes. While the group have worked with clay before, this was the next step in furthering their understanding of pottery. The group started with the Leach 4 3 2 1 transparent glaze recipe and then added glaze stains in increments, followed by an experimental approach.
SCHOOLS
We have worked with 28 schools this year over 48 workshops. Of these 48 workshops 30 of them were delivered to Cornish schools and the majority of these received free workshops ( all at least discounted ) in partnership with us. The selection of these partnerships schools is informed by the percentage of pupil premium students in the schools and the schools ’ location in relation to areas of deprivation.
This year the Learning Team have been working regularly in Hayle Academy. We have recently started a new project with pupils from Hayle Academy and their local primary school, Bodriggy Academy. The students have formed a pop up pottery with us as follows:
We are a group of young potters from Bodriggy Academy & Hayle Academy. We experiment with surface decoration to co-produce tiles together with the Leach Pottery. We take inspiration from the works of Bernard Leach and the nature of our local surroundings.
We believe there is beauty in the hand-made and we aren’t scared of mistakes and wobbles, that’s where the interest lies!
On selected Thursdays the years 4 and 5 from Bodriggy Academy walk up to join the Hayle Academy students. We have worked with the Hayle students so they are able to co-lead the workshops. It’s a dynamic way to conduct this project and encouraging to see the communication between the year groups.
ADULTS
We have welcomed 964 people across 2169 participations onto the Adult Learning programme. Courses have included :
-
•3 & 5 Day Throwing
-
•2 Day Throwing Workshop: Tutored Open Access
-
•2 Day In Focus: Handles
-
•2 Day In Focus Course: Jugs
-
•2 Day Course: Introduction to Glaze Theory

•5 Day Specialist Production Pottery: Throwing with Efficiency & Skill
-
•5 Day Specialist Lidded Vessels & Teapot
-
•Evening Throwing Course at the Leach Pottery

-
•Leach Beginners Year
-
•The Leach Year
36 of the 126 workshops were written with local people in mind and delivered at cost price.
Highlights of this year on the Adult programme include: Moving out of the temporary studio in Newlyn and teaching in Bernard’s studio.
From January 2024-December 2024 half of the Adult courses were delivered at Newlyn school of art, allowing us to continue teaching close to full capacity during the building project. With the national Lottery Heritage Funding of the School, Families and Communities in place for 2025 this made room for Bernard’s studio to be used solely for the Adult learning programme.
Establishing 2 year-long courses we were pleased to introduce 2 new offers to the adult programme this year, the Leach Beginner’s Year and the Leach Year, one course for intermediate potters and the other for beginners. The Leach Year course covers skills from production throwing to skill development while the Beginners Year focuses on sound foundations and fun experiences such as a pit firing of their pots.
The successful delivery of the courses during a building project meant participation figures from the adult course were only marginally down from last year when we had 2 studios onsite.
FAMILIES
Through delivery of the family programme offsite we have been able to welcome greater numbers to our workshops. An encouraging change is seeing the percentage participation from families with TR26 or TR27 postcodes more than double across the year.
THE YEAR IN NUMBERS
Pots created by Cornwall Womens Project
Worked with 4,579 people.
Held 6,348 participations.
At least 2,500 of all participations were from local areas of deprivation or have additional needs.

Worked with 28 schools in over 48 workshops. Of these 48 workshops 30 of them were delivered to Cornish schools and the majority of these received free workshops (all at least discounted) in partnership with us. The selection of these partnerships schools is informed by the percentage of pupil premium students in the schools and the schools’ location in relation to areas of deprivation.
“ I don ’ t know where I would be if I hadn ’ t been invited to my first pottery lesson at Leach. It gives me quiet and itpy calm place away from my problems. It ’ s my lifeline. ’ s my hap- ”

POTTERY STUDIO
The Pottery Studio makes our range of Standard Ware, sold in our Leach Pottery shop and independent shops. Each member of the team is a talented potter in their own right.
“ I like the intimacy of creating work that is go- ’ ing to be used, for example a mug for someone s morning coffee ,”
Ellie Woods, graduating apprentice 2024
MEET OUR APPRENTICES
The Leach Studio has an active apprenticeship scheme offering a three-year apprenticeship to one potter each year - with plans to increase this in the new studio. This year saw one graduation and one new apprentice join the team.
Ellie Woods (pictured left) joined the Leach Pottery Studio as a Studio Apprentice in 2021, graduating in July 2024 to join the team as production potter. Her graduation was marked by a solo exhibition at the Leach Pottery featuring around 100 works.
Later in the year we welcomed our latest apprentice potter Callum Cowie to the team. Callum is drawn to Japanese aesthetics and the philosophy of becoming present in pottery, allowing creativity and beauty to shine through.
The use of cool colours is prominent in his palette, bringing their calming presence to the lives of those that enjoy his pots. It is the use of these everyday objects that Callum finds most interesting; elevating the simple act of a cup of coffee or enjoying a meal with handcrafted wares is a privilege that invigorates him every day.
A JAPANESE RESIDENCY
During the year our production manager Matthew Foster (pictured below) spent time at the Mashiko Museum of Ceramic Art in Japan. In the resulting exhibition in February 2025, Matthew creatively engaged in a variety of traditions, experimenting with various techniques and materials.
Matthew created more than 900 pieces in just eight weeks and the exhibition presented more than 100 of these pots, each reflecting a playful commitment to craftsmanship and creativity.
“ After nearly 10 years at the Leach Pottery, I felt I was ready for the experience of Mashiko – to test myself and explore my journey elsewhere, ” says Matthew.
“ The residency allowed me to reflect on my abilities, successes, and mistakes, which were crucial in furthering my understanding of the craft. ”

LEACH STUDIO CHALLENGE
2025 kicked off with a show bringing together the talents of our studio potters inspired by an object from the museum.
Each potter using it to inform their creative journey. The challenge playfully engaged the wider Leach tradition, of how a potter takes inspiration and develops their work in union with their creativity. The exhibition featured pots by: Roelof Uys, Lead Potter; Matt Foster, Production Manager; Britta James, Production Potter; Ellie Woods, Production Potter; Amy Wilson, 2023 Apprentice; Callum Cowie, 2024 Apprentice.

EXHIBITIONS A vital part of our ethos is to support contemporary potters and safeguard the future of studio pottery
Alongside Standard Ware and the work of our studio potters, the Leach Pottery is committed to its support of contemporary potters.
We work with more than 70 potters from Cornwall and throughout the UK and worldwide with selling exhibitions in our Entrance Gallery, onsite in our shop and online.
In early 2024 we launched our programme of selling exhibitions. Each exhibition is supported by a curated online exhibition. Throughout the year a series of curated museum exhibitions went on show in our Cube Gallery celebrating the Leach Pottery and its place in the last century of studio pottery.
Our first exhibition of the year was a group show in our Cube Gallery. Leach Pottery: First Students ran in May and June 2024 and featured early works from the Leach Pottery alongside pots by Bernard Leach, Shoji Hamada and Tsurunosuke Matsubayashi.
Students Over a Century: Roots and Branches ran summer and early autumn and told the story of a small number of the Leach Pottery’s students; from 1923 when they began to arrive, to key points such as 1938 with the start of the Leach Apprentices, and their more formal training, that was reinvigorated in 2014.
In the Entrance Gallery, solo exhibitions included a show of work by celebrated studio potter John Bedding; ‘60 Years On’. The exhibition features new pieces from John’s Copper Glazed Pot series; these sculptural pieces are raku fired, then finished with patination chemicals to give spontaneous colours and unique surface finishes.
The exhibition spaces and museum are taking a break throughout 2025/6 as they undergo major renovations with the reopening set for late 2026.

Online Exhibitions
We presented numerous online exhibitions as extensions of our exhibitions programme. This allowed us to reach a wider audience and proved to be very popular.
Our online exhibitions included: Colour & Movement - celebrating contemporary and emerging potters who work with an emphasis on colour, Ellie Woods: An Apprenticeship, a first solo graduate show for our fifth Studio apprentice, John Bedding: 60 Years On and Leach Studio: A Potters’ Challenge featuring work from the Leach Studio potters who made new work in response to an object from the museum.
Seconds Sales
We held Seconds Sales during the Easter and the August bank holiday; both hugely popular and successful.
Throughout the year we offered Standard Ware promotions with 10% off for a limited time. These included mugs, bowls, plates and jugs. It is a way to make our ware more affordable and drives extra traffic and interest to our Standard Ware web page.
Winter Photoshoot
During November we collaborated with Milieu Gallery of contemporary art and ceramics in St Ives. We used their beautiful harbour-front gallery to display our Standard Ware for a Winter/Christmas photo-shoot, which formed the basis for our Christmas gift guide on the website and on our social media platforms.
CAPITAL PROJECT The year marked a series of major milestones in the future of the Leach Pottery while continuing to celebrate creativity, craftsmanship, and connection through clay and safeguarding the pottery for future generations.
April 2024 saw work begin in redeveloping the site to support the next century of making. This project will create dedicated spaces for learning, production, and community, designed to recognise our heritage while opening up new possibilities for everyone who works with or visits the pottery.

The redesign is based on 17 years of experience running the pottery as a working heritage site. Visitors to the site find it confusing and limiting and the buildings have grown over time. The project will bring everything together in a more sensitive, coordinated way. The work began with the demolition of the learning & participation building and former kiln shed and erecting a new Learning and Production Centre which opens in early 2026.
More than 3,000 people attend classes and workshops at the Leach Pottery each year – many taking part in free community workshops for families and children, as well as courses for beginners and more experienced potters.
The new centre will increase the number of these incredibly popular sessions, as well as create a bespoke pottery studio where our team of potters make the Leach Standard Ware range and work on their own craft. The studio has an active apprenticeship scheme which will expand in the new studio.
At the end of 2024, we employed new staff funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund including Make with Leach coordinators (for Schools & Families and Community & Young People) and our first marketing apprentice.
The aims of the project
•More jobs for skilled makers, more apprenticeships, more pathways to formal education and employment
- •A bigger and better community programme with more classes and projects for families and special interest groups
•Support for local creative businesses through mentoring and international connections
- •A stronger schools programme with space for more students and better experiences
•Year-round education programmes that welcome visitors from near and far
-
•A reduced environmental impact through greener technologies
-
•A better understanding of our history and its importance to the town of St Ives, Cornwall and the British craft sector
The Capital Project is supported by the St Ives Town Deal, the National Lottery Heritage Fund, Arts Council England, the Wolfson Foundation and the Headley Trust. We are incredibly grateful for their support.
INVESTING IN OUR FUTURE
Key to the future of the Leach Pottery is ensuring sustainability - not only in the world of studio pottery, but also in environmental factors. The two-year Capital Project will greatly reduce the carbon footprint of the site
Latest kiln technology
We worked with a social enterprise Planet A Solutions who helped us identify different fuel options that could replace natural gas in our reduction kilns. We are now looking for partners to test these alternatives to fossil fuels.
Initial research in 2020 around our site including a smart energy saving and carbon reduction report has led to the Capital Project where we will remove natural gas as our main source of heating and make our buildings more efficient to run. We are building a carbon neutral building, installing PV panels on the roof, installing energy efficient heating and lighting and improving the historical buildings where possible.
The research into the life cycle analysis of a mug is still to be fully published, as is the research by a residency in the autumn of 2023 on exploring the role and potential of different fuel sources in the glaze firing process and how the changing nature of local industry affects the sustainability of local materials.
Sustainable packaging
The Leach Pottery uses sustainable and recyclable materials in its packaging. We use cardboard boxes and brown paper bags and our packaging includes expandable die-cut craft paper with a tissue interleaf system to wrap and pack pots. We also use biodegradable loose fill packaging ‘peanuts’ which are 100 per cent home compostable.
As part of our efforts to reduce our carbon footprint we took the decision to only offer UK delivery.
