About MeBorn in 1901, Michael Cardew became a pupil of Bernard Leach in 1923. He remained at the Leach Pottery in St Ives until 1926 when he bought Winchcombe Pottery in Gloucestershire where he made slipwares using traditional methods and local clays. In 1939 he moved to Wenford Bridge in Cornwall before a period of teaching in a college in Ghana. His time in Africa influenced the designs on his later pottery. He died in 1983.
