Leach Pottery, St Ives
28 April - 28 April 2012
The main visit will be to the Leach Pottery, including tours of: • the old Leach workshops and kilns • the exhibition in The Cube, ‘Heart, Head and Hand’ • the gallery and shop • the new studio where resident professional potters, degree students, visiting international students and apprentices develop their own work and make the new standard ware • together with a demonstration by lead potter Jack Doherty, or one of the apprentices if Jack is not available • and a kiln opening with the opportunity to buy work hot from the kiln We are hoping to arrange a visit to local potters in their studios later the same day. Nearby and open in April are the Barbara Hepworth Museum and Sculpture Garden and the Tate St Ives. The Tate St Ives holds a large ceramics resource not generally on display. With sufficient interest, we could arrange a group visit on Friday 27 April when a selection of ceramics could be viewed. Recommendations of places to stay will be available, together with travel and parking information. Saturday, 28 April 2012, am Cost: £10; students and concessions £7.50
