John Leach Pottery
England
1998

Robert & Christine visited many potters 1998 while giving workshops to United Kingdom potters guilds.

 
John Leach 1998- with articulating door to firebox.   Above photo of firebox hobbs.

John had the steel work for the arches bent
to keep the lines of the kiln intact, a wonderful choice.

Arches of kiln are made of insulating brick

 

   

Connecting tube brings flue from kiln to outdoor chimney.

 A few months after Robert & Christine took this photo, the studio burned to the ground. A few pieces of wood inadvertently left leaning on the connection flue caught fire hours after the kiln firing was finished. This kiln was unaffected but the building was totally destroyed.

Three chambers with firebox.

 

Much of John's work is left unglazed (liner glazes on insides of forms) with just a touch of flashing for the finished effect.
