Upon the centennial of the founding of Leach Pottery, the Craft in America Center presents two exhibitions celebrating the cup as object and the impact of Bernard Leach on studio ceramics. A Humble Legacy is an exhibition of approximately two dozen historic and contemporary cups made by a selection of artists affiliated with Leach Pottery and others who continue in its legacy.
