The workshop of Bernard Leach, who drew much of the inspiration for his ceramics from Japan and led the craft pottery movement in the mid-20th century, is to be restored to its former glory.
Campaigners have managed to secure enough money to buy and refurbish the celebrated British potter's dilapidated studio and Oriental climbing kiln, thought to be the first in the West.
Leach, who died in 1979, became interested in pottery while living in Japan in the early part of the last century.
