BBC The Rock of St Ives Bernard Leach clip1

This documentary has some damaged parts. Still very interesting, I think.

I worshipped Bernard Leach and Hamada when I was learning pottery in the late '70's!! I once made a Cornish pitcher after the style of Michael Cardew with his inscription (in Cornish) "Thou Noble Pot I Love Thee Well, In All The World Thee Hast No Equal" ❤

Yes my time as a studio potter back in the 80s and 90s was a fascinating! I loved it, as I equally love making music too.

Priceless for those interested in the history of pottery in UK & Japan

Was that a young Simon Leach behind his dad at 6.50?
