2019 celebrates West Street Potters’ 20th year at Farnham pottery.
It’s also nearly 50 yrs since West Street Potters took on the name after the Street where they were based and maybe 70 yrs since the classes were started by Henry Hammond and Paul Barron to help finance the new pottery academic course at Farnham School of Art.
Thank you to everyone who has shared their memories, what a fabulous legacy.

West Street Potters Big Lunch – 2010
The West Street Potters ‘Big Lunch’ was a joyous occasion for all. A spectacular extravaganza of home-made pots, produce and culinary splendour.
An estimated 100 people turned up to share in a gourmet feast of home -grown and home-made food. There were home-made cooking pots galore and it was a delight to see people drinking wine and home-made elderflower cordial from mugs they had made.
Potters certainly know how to lunch with style!
