Callum Cowie

Callum joined the Leach Pottery in 2024 as an Apprentice, and is learning the craft of pottery by making Leach Standard Ware. He comes from a design background, having studied Illustration.

Currently experimenting with different materials and forms, Callum seeks those that best express simplicity. He is particularly drawn to Japanese aesthetics and the philosophy of becoming present in pottery, allowing creativity and beauty to shine through.

The use of cool colours is prominent in his palette, bringing their calming presence to the lives of those that enjoy his pots. It is the use of these everyday objects that Callum finds most interesting; elevating the simple act of a cup of coffee or enjoying a meal with hand-crafted wares is a privilege that invigorates him every day.
