Francis joined The Farmer’s Arms team in February 2022 in an unconventional move from London to Lowick, after completing a ceramics apprenticeship with celebrated potter Lisa Hammond. He’s usually to be found in our workshop at his wheel, where he makes the beautiful wares he sells in our pub shop and elsewhere at craft fairs across the land.
Francis has designed and produced many of the plates and dishes and jugs in regular use at the pub. He is also a great teacher, offering sell-out pottery classes at our pub workshop on a regular basis. Check out our What’s On for the next available.
Least favourite thing to make for the pub? Plates. Whilst I don’t mind actually making them, they take up so much space in the workshop during their production.
When you’re not in the workshop? I’ll unashamedly admit to switching off with some real trash TV, interspersed with some high brow, cultured films here ‘n’ there.
