About this title

Synopsis

Bernard Leach, Hamada and Their Circle well illustrated

Synopsis

The cross-cultural collaboration of Bernard Leach and Shoji Hamada was a seminal event in the history of modern studio ceramics. Working together at St Ives, they and their disciples were a driving influence behind the worldwide resurgence of the craft aesthetic. George and Cornelia Wingfield Digby were early and far-sighted patrons of this circle, and assembled a famous collection of their pottery. Presenting the finest pieces from the collection, this beautiful and authoritative book documents a momentous collaboration through the discriminating eyes and the historically important reminiscences of the Wingfield Digbys.
