Here's a few pictures of Jack Doherty Lead Potter from the world renowned Leach  pottery st Ives who kindly came in to the Design centre just before Christmas, to demo his throwing  process to Crafts students.

Earlier in the day Jack had given a fantastic lecture to level 1 Students outlining the history and context of Leach and it's continuing relevance. The day was organised by Phd  student Matt Tyas who also spoke at the lecture about his research work with Jack and the Leach.
