Donating a Lathe at Workbridge
I enjoyed celebrating the achievements of the Woodturning team at Workbridge.
It was great to see a donation of a fully accessible lathe to Workbridge from The Company of Turners.
The Master, Christopher Scott, handed over a lathe donated by the Company to Stuart Whitney of Workbridge, a Northampton charity that does great work in delivering vocational education for those with mental illness, autism or brain injuries. The lathe is specially adaptable for those with accessibility needs.
Freeman Declaration
I was delighted to attend the Freeman Declaration ceremony where I became a member of The Worshipful Company of Turners in London.
With four other new members and my family, we were warmly welcomed by The Clerk, The Master and Wardens.
We received a box containing the history of the Company which is very interesting reading. One of the oldest livery companies in the City of London, the Turners' Company was already a guild in the 12th Century. To this day, the Company continues to celebrate and support the 'art or mysterie' of turning.
