Whilst at Dartington, Leach met the American artist Mark Tobey, who introduced him to the Bahai faith, and in 1934 the Elmhirsts funded a visit by the two artists to Japan, where Bernard had lived as a child.

Simultaneously, he was to undertake the establishment of a pottery which would be a commercial enterprise under Dartington Hall Limited. With the assistance of his son David at Dartington, he also managed to maintain his business in St Ives. With hindsight, the years at Dartington were of thought and exchange of thought and friendships, a time of enrichment and expansion for which I am deeply grateful. […] For me personally, the years there provided a pause in my life, between East and West, during which I had the opportunity to assess its basic values, Dartington was a brave effort, worth all the cost.”

His friendship with the two great Japanese potters, Yanagi Sōetsu and Hamada Shōji , was particularly influential on the development of studio pottery in this country and his friendship with the Elmhirsts dated from 1927 until their deaths. In 1925 the Elmhirsts consulted with Leach about establishing a pottery at Dartington. He suggested they should employ Michael Cardew but he had already begun to establish his own pottery in Winchcomb. Finally, on the advice of Leach, Jane Fox-Strangways was appointed.All Bedding & Bath Bed Linen Duvet Covers & Sets Orla Kiely Bedding Fitted Sheets Flat Sheets Valances Pillowcases Children's Bedding Clearance Bedding The pottery founded by Leach continues to trade as Dartington Pottery, although no longer based on the Dartington Estate.
