    Biography

    Todd Leech is known for stoneware functional and sculptural works. Leech?s signature surface treatments are foamy, textural, and cratered glazes. Leech forms work using a variety of methods including wheel-thrown, hand-built, and extruded. He fires in both oxidation (electric kiln) and reduction (gas kiln).

    Leech has explored the functional platter form creating two distinct bodies of non-functional works: one with text stamped into the surface using metal type, and the other with numerous small geometric forms applied to the surface.
