Welcome to Hempmill

Richard and Lucy Heeley have been running pottery and cookery courses at Hempmill since 2019. Richard is an accomplished potter who runs weekly ceramics classes as well as advanced masterclasses, and Lucy is a professional chef who specialises in bread and bakery.

Richard sells his pots through galleries and ceramics fairs. His work will be available soon through our new online shop, coming Autumn 2023.

Richard and Lucy want to share their collective years of culinary knowledge and design experience. Hempmill is all about good food, fine craftsmanship and the simple marriage of ingredients and materials.

Hempmill Pottery and Cookery School is situated on the site of a historic mill on the border of Shropshire and Staffordshire.
