Leach 100 Commissioned Artists take center stage on our Instagram over the next four weekends.

Their work is currently on show at the @british_ceramics_biennial.

First to be featured is @amyjaynehughes below she writes beautifully about her work.

Responding to the Leach aesthetic of ‘Brushwork’, in ‘A Potter’s Book’, Leach advised Occidental students to obtain some ‘good' brushes.

Taken literally, I crafted my own from found and foraged materials local to the Pottery, St Ives. Thus prepared, I began studies into mark-making with my new tools, starting with a series of brushwork exercises before deciding which best lends itself to what type of mark, then working in clay, exploring one brush per pattern, one pattern per pot using wax resist to create relief across the surfaces.

Decoration becomes subtly imbedded in the form and highlighted not hidden by glaze, in tune with the Leach ethos that for a pattern to be good, it must be “freely executed, combine with and improve the form.”
