My friend Ron recently sent me this book, Thrown, British Columbia's Apprentices of Bernard Leach and Their Contemporaries. It's worth looking at if you're interested in Leach/Hamada and their influence on Canadian West Coast ceramic practice during the '50's, '60's and '70's (and to the present!). It's a collection of essays inspired by the show of the same name at the Belkin Gallery in Vancouver in 2005. It's well written and heavily illustrated, including lots of photos from the time.
And here's a photo of one of Ron's beautiful pouring bowls.
