Janet
Leach 1918 - 1997 first met Bernard Leach while Leach was on a visit
to Japan in the early 50's. Janet was working with Hamada at his
Mashiko pottery. Janet is the one of the few potters who worked
with Bernard to retain her own true voice. Her work owes all to
the Japanese influences that she encountered while working in Japan.
In her work one sees the influence of Oribe and Bizen. Janet came
to England in 1953 marring Bernard Leach and was to run the Leach
Pottery St.Ives until her death in 1997.
