two.1.4) Short description
Over the next three years the Leach Pottery will undertake a major expansion and redevelopment which includes the construction of a new environmentally sustainable learning centre and production studio.
The existing museum and gallery shop will be re-imagined and updated and there will be a new central entrance surrounded by a landscaped courtyard where visitors will be able to sit take refreshments and watch potters at work.
Dow Jones Architects have designed a building reflecting the Leach Pottery's history and Cornish location that will provide 500 sqm of new and 837sqm refurbished space to support increased pottery production, learning and participation and improved visitor experience.
The development will provide St Ives with a world-class living heritage site, which will:
Create a community hub where people can develop their creativity, improve their wellbeing, support each other and bring clay to life through learning opportunities
Create year - round jobs through apprenticeships training and increased pottery production
Conserve the Grade II listed buildings onsite and create a more resilient organisation
Attract off season tourism to St Ives through increased museum visitors and commercial course participants
The Leach Pottery has been a destination for training and creative exchange since its founding in 1920. The capital development of the site will secure the continuation of this reputation nationally and internationally with an increased focus on providing access to clay for Cornish communities.
