Todd Leech is known for stoneware functional and sculptural works. Leech’s signature surface treatments are foamy, textural, and cratered glazes over stoneware. Leech forms work using a variety of methods including wheel-thrown, hand built, and extruded. He fires in both oxidation (electric kiln) and reduction (gas kiln).

Leech has explored the functional platter form creating two distinct bodies of non-functional works, one with text stamped into the surface using metal type and the other with numerous small geometric forms applied to the surface.
