Though small, this vase carries many striking weaving patterns that exhibit real energy and elegance. Its exterior contracts beautifully with the darkly swirling blue of its interior and the raw clay exposed on its surface through Patrick’s signature carving techniques.

Patrick’s body of work features an array of weaving patterns which take inspiration from both Interior Salish & Coast Salish basketry. Interior Salish & Coast Salish weaving is renowned for its astonishing intricacy and beauty and the knowledge of how to create vessels such as baskets for both ceremonial and practical use has been passed down through the generations for over 4,000 years.

St’át’imc First Nation, T’ít’q’et, P’egpig’7lha (Frog) Clan / Snuneymuxw First Nation

Unceded, Ancestral & Traditional Territories of the Snuneymuxw & St̓át̓imc First Nations. Pacific Northwest

St’át’imc First Nation artist and ceramicist Patrick Leach is well known across the Pacific Northwest for his uniquely carved ceramics that reflect St’át’imc & Snuneymuxw territory landscapes, cultural practices such as dip-net fishing and traditional basketry, and designs inspired by ancient rock paintings.

Patrick’s ceramics feature distinctive bold black bodies, with finely sgraffitoed designs, cloud-like interior glazes and striking bands of colour reminiscent of Interior & Coast Salish woven baskets and formline styles. His ceramics are of particular interest across North America as he is one of the only established First Nations potters working in the Pacific Northwest.
