St Ives in the 1920s: The Leach Pottery in context
When Bernard Leach opened his pottery in St Ives in 1920, he arrived into a town already rich with artistic life. In this talk, Janet Axten traces the cultural organisations that had taken root in St Ives over the previous thirty years and examines how they grew alongside the Pottery through its first decade. It's a chance to understand the wider creative world that shaped one of Cornwall's most celebrated artistic landmarks. The talk takes place at the Leach Pottery itself, making it a fitting setting for the conversation.
