Richard Batterham
A pupil of Bernard Leach and Atsuya Hamada, son of Shoji Hamada, Richard Batterham set up his studio in Dorset where he still works.
He produces well designed domestic stoneware which he says enriches rather than adorns life. Working alone he fires his two-chambered climbing kiln around six times year.
He is regarded by many as one of the finest makers of domestic stoneware in the Leach tradition..
