Leach's reputation as a bridge between Eastern and Western craft traditions-once a Zen Buddhist, he is now a devout member of the Baha'i faith-has helped to turn his St. Ives studio into a place of pilgrimage for hundreds of younger potters over the years. But the number of students working there remains limited to eleven.
