David Leach, son of Bernard Leach, was taught to pot by Shoji Hamada. In 1930 he began an apprenticeship with his father at the Leach Pottery, St Ives, Cornwall, where he stayed, on and off, for twenty-five years.

In 1953 he became head of the ceramics department of Loughborough College. He then started the Aylesford Pottery in 1954, handing it over a year later to Colin Pearson before moving to Bovey Tracey in Devon, where he set up Lowerdown Pottery. In 1987 he was appointed OBE for his work in studio pottery and his services to education.
