Catalogue of the Papers of Bernard Leach Catalogue of the Papers and Books of BERNARD LEACH - - - - - - COMPILED BY ALYN GILES JONES, M.A., D.A.A., F.S.A. VOLUME I 1 – 10,803 - - - - - - Crafts Study Centre Bath 1984 - 1985 F O R E W O R D This is the third and final catalogue of the papers of Bernard Leach. However, a number of his letters are in the Muriel Rose archives, also held at the Crafts Study Centre: many of these are in answer to her own letters to him listed in the three Leach catalogues. Other Bernard Leach material may yet emerge, and hopefully any such records will be deposited at the Centre. Mr David Leach made available the first “trance” of these papers, for which the Centre is deeply grateful – as, indeed, it is for the contents of Bernard Leach II, also deposited by him. The second section of this catalogue concerns the papers of the late Mrs Trudi Scott, Bernard Leach’s housekeeper, confidante and indispensable prop during his last years. I had only one telephone conversation with her ever, shortly before she died, during which she promised me an original drawing by Bernard – which I never got! Following her death, I enquired of those close to her about her papers, and can thus claim credit for having saved them. They would otherwise have been thrown away. The collection consists largely of fascinating oddments, single pages of letters, infuriating but captivating jumbles of “membra disiecta”, which have required the repeated re-cataloguing of already catalogued entries, and the constant need to review and revise and rewrite, as fragments came together during the interim and final sortings. But many valuable items have been rescued, to complement the riches of the archival material already catalogued. I It is fair to say that the three catalogues of Bernard Leach’s papers illustrate much of the history of the Crafts’ scene at home and abroad in the 20th century: an index of personal names alone, would prove this. My thanks are due to Mrs Margaret Hughes of Madryn, Llanbedrgoch, Anglesey, who has typed this catalogue with patience, courtesy and good humour. March/April 1997.

Abbreviations confined to a single catalogue entry, will presumably be obvious. ACCENTS The presence or otherwise of accents on vowels in certain Middle Eastern or Arabic, and Japanese, names, depends upon its rendering in any one particular document. For example, the form “Bahá’í” has been used throughout the catalogue, except in quotation from, say, an original letter where the accents are missing. Similar instances are “Bahá’u’lláh” and “Ruhíyyih Khánum”. In the Japanese context, a medial or final “o” may, or may not, carry a circumflex: the individual document has dictated the presence or absence thereof.

  • Naturalistic Observations of Peer Interventions in Bullying D
    Naturalistic Observations of Peer Interventions in Bullying D. Lynn Hawkins, Debra J. Pepler, York University and Wendy M. Craig, Queen’s University Abstract This study examined peer intervention in bullying using naturalistic observations on school playgrounds. The sample comprised 58 children (37 boys and 21 girls) in Grades 1 to 6 who were observed to intervene in bullying. Peers were present during 88% of bullying episodes and intervened in 19%. In 47% of the episodes, peers inter- vened aggressively. Interventions directed toward the bully were more likely to be aggressive, whereas interventions directed toward the victim or the bully-victim dyad were more likely to be nonaggressive. The majority (57%) of interventions were effec- tive in stopping bullying. Boys were more likely to intervene when the bully and victim were male and girls when the bully and victim were female. The implications for anti- bullying interventions are discussed. Keywords: Bullying; Peer Intervention; Gender Differences In the present study, we examined peer interventions in bullying using naturalistic observations on the school playground. Bullying is a form of aggressive behaviour in which the child who is bullying has more power than the victim and repeatedly uses this power aggressively to cause distress to the victim through physical and/or verbal behaviours (Besag, 1989; Olweus, 1991, Pepler, Craig, & O’Connell, 1999). Research from various parts of the world suggests that between 10% to 23% of school children are involved in bullying as either victims and/or bullies (Besag, 1989; Charach, Pepler, & Ziegler, 1995; Olweus, 1991, 1993; Pepler et al., 1993; Roland, 1989; Yates & Smith, 1989).

  • Hamada Shōji (1894-1978)
    HAMADA SHŌJI (1894-1978) Hamada Shōji attained unsurpassed recognition at home and abroad for his folk art style ceramics. Inspired by Okinawan and Korean ceramics in particular, Hamada became an important figure in the Japanese folk arts movement in the 1960s. He was a founding member of the Japan Folk Art Association with Bernard Leach, Kawai Kanjirō, and Yanagi Soetsu. After 1923, he moved to Mashiko where he rebuilt farmhouses and established his large workshop. Throughout his life, Hamada demonstrated an excellent glazing technique, using such trademark glazes as temmoku iron glaze, nuka rice-husk ash glaze, and kaki persimmon glaze. Through his frequent visits and demonstrations abroad, Hamada influenced many European and American potters in later generations as well as those of his own. 1894 Born in Tokyo 1912 Saw etchings and pottery by Bernard Leach in Ginza, Tokyo 1913 Studied at the Tokyo Technical College with Itaya Hazan (1872-1963) Became friends with Kawai Kanjiro (1890-1966) and visits in Kyoto (1915) 1914 Became interested in Mashiko pottery after seeing a teapot at Hazan's home 1916 Graduated from Tokyo Technical College and enrolled at Kyoto Ceramics Laboratory, visits with Tomimoto Kenkichi (1886-1963) Began 10,000 glaze experiments with Kawai 1917 Visited Okinawa to study kiln construction 1919 Met Bernard Leach (1887-1979) at his Tokyo exhibition, invited to him his studio in Abiko where meets Yanagi Sōetsu (1889-1961) Traveled to Korea and Manchuria, China with Kawai 1920 Visited Mashiko for the first time Traveled to England with Leach, built a climbing kiln at St. Ives 1923 Traveled to France, Italy, Crete, and Egypt after his solo exhibition in London 1924 Moved to Mashiko.

Three Voices “To work with clay is to be in touch with the taproot of life.’’ —Shoji Hamada hen one considers ceramic history in its broadest sense a three-generation family of potters isn’t particularly remarkable. Throughout the world potters have traditionally handed down their skills and knowledge to their offspring thus Wmaintaining a living history that not only provided a family’s continuity and income but also kept the traditions of vernacular pottery-making alive. The long traditions of the peasant or artisan potter are well documented and can be found in almost all civilizations where the generations are to be numbered in the tens or twenties or even higher. In Africa, South America and in Asia, styles and techniques remained almost unaltered for many centuries. In Europe, for example, the earthenware tradition existed from the early Middle Ages to the very beginning of the 20th century. Often carried on by families primarily involved in farming, it blossomed into what we would now call the ‘slipware’ tradition. The Toft family was probably the best known makers of slipware in Staffordshire.

  • The Leach Pottery: 100 Years on from St Ives
    The Leach Pottery: 100 years on from St Ives Exhibition handlist Above: Bernard Leach, pilgrim bottle, stoneware, 1950–60s Crafts Study Centre, 2004.77, gift of Stella and Nick Redgrave Introduction The Leach Pottery was established in St Ives, Cornwall in the year 1920. Its founders were Bernard Leach and his fellow potter Shoji Hamada. They had travelled together from Japan (where Leach had been living and working with his wife Muriel and their young family). Leach was sponsored by Frances Horne who had set up the St Ives Handicraft Guild, and she loaned Leach £2,500 as capital to buy land and build a small pottery, as well as a sum of £250 for three years to help with running costs. Leach identified a small strip of land (a cow pasture) at the edge of St Ives by the side of the Stennack stream, and the pottery was constructed using local granite. A tiny room was reserved for Hamada to sleep in, and Hamada himself built a climbing kiln in the oriental style (the first in the west, it was claimed). It was a humble start to one of the great sites of studio pottery. The Leach Pottery celebrates its centenary year in 2020, although the extensive programme of events and exhibitions planned in Britain and Japan has been curtailed by the impact of Covid-19. This exhibition is the tribute of the Crafts Study Centre to the history, legacy and continuing significance of The Leach Pottery, based on the outstanding collections and archives relating firstly to Bernard Leach.

  • Bernard Leach and His Circle
    Bernard Leach and his Circle Spring 2008 26 January – 11 May 2008 Notes for Teachers Information and practical ideas for groups Written by Angie MacDonald Ceramics by Bernard Leach and key studio potters who worked alongside him can be seen in the Showcase (Upper Gallery 2). These works form part of the Wingfield-Digby Collection, recently gifted to Tate St Ives. For discussion • There has been much discussion in recent years as to whether ceramics is an art or a craft. Leach insisted that he was an ‘artist-potter’ and he always regarded his individual pots as objects of art rather than craft. • Why do you think he considered these pots more important than the standard ware (tableware)? • What do you think the display at Tate St Ives says about the status of these objects? Are they sculptures or domestic objects? • The Japanese critic Soetsu Yanagi complimented Leach by describing his earthenware as ‘born not made’. What do you think he meant by this? • Leach said he wanted his pots to have ‘vitality’ – to capture a sense of energy and life. Can you find examples that you feel have this quality? • The simplified motif of a bird was a favourite for Leach. He considered it a symbol of freedom and peace. Can you find other motifs in his work and what do you think they symbolise? Things to think about This stoneware tile has the design of a bird feeding its young, painted in iron. It has sgraffito detailing where Leach scratched through the wet clay slip before firing. It is an excellent example of Leach’s commitment to quiet, contemplative forms with soft, muted colours derived from the earth.

    English Ceramic Circle Newsletter No 7 September 2019 _________________________________________________ President’s Preamble Welcome to ECC Newsletter No. 7. The dates for our meetings in 2019 and 2020 are listed below. Some of the information is necessarily provisional or has had to be changed since the last Newsletter so please do check this list before setting out to attend a meeting. The ECC visit to Sherborne Castle and Gardens on 22 May 2019 was a great success. Members enjoyed seeing the castle (built by Sir Walter Raleigh in 1594) and reflects a variety of decorative styles in its rich interiors and important collections of porcelain, art, and furniture. Sherborne’s porcelain collection is celebrated for its Kakiemon with Chinese, Meissen, Chantilly and English ceramics plus rare Chelsea vases, Chelsea/Derby pieces, an armorial Chamberlains’ Worcester service, a Minton desert service and Bow and Isleworth items. Following a talk by an Archivist, we were given a tour through the castle when the ropes preventing close-up viewing of the ceramic cabinets were removed. We also had a special viewing of the pieces in store. You should by now have received the latest Transactions plus two additional volumes containing the papers given at two ECC seminars: Influences and inspiration – 400 years of Japanese porcelain and Neoclassical ceramics. If you have not received these three volumes, please email Patricia Macleod, ECC membership secretary or contact her via the ECC postal address on page 9. The publication of these extra volumes is possible due to some generous donations for which we are always very grateful.
