Bernard Leach
With the demise of Broadstone Potters in 1933, he applied for a job with the studio potter, Bernard Leach, and ended up working for him and David Leach at the Leach Pottery in St Ives, Cornwall. Davis acknowledged the invaluable experience he gained from Bernard Leach, especially for the honing of his aesthetic appreciation of ceramics. During this period he spent long hours in London museums, making copious notes and drawings of pots he found interesting.
