Doherty has been the lead potter at the LEACH POTTERY since 2007. His roots are in Ireland where he first began to make pottery in 1970.  Since that time his exhibition schedule has gone global, and he is indeed internationally renowned for his work which is primarily soda-fired porcelain small and large in scale, studio pieces and domestic in various shapes and uses.

For full information and illustration his own website, Doherty Ceramics, cannot be bettered (CV, list of exhibitions, public collections, etc.).
