Leah Leitson is a studio potter and educator based in Asheville, North Carolina

Working in porcelain, she creates functional vessels through a combination of wheel throwing, altering, and handbuilding. Inspired by the natural world and the decorative arts, her work is distinguished by expressive forms, thoughtful surfaces, and a deep commitment to craftsmanship and the beauty of everyday use.

Leah shares her approach to clay through workshops nationally and internationally, exploring wheel throwing, handbuilding, surface development, and the expressive possibilities of porcelain.
