Company Summer Reception
The Company summer reception was held in the beautiful courtyard of Apothecaries’ Hall in July. The Master expressed delight in his welcome speech that the exceptional weather seemed to have encouraged a larger than usual attendance. Members enjoyed fine wine and canapés before being enthralled by Carlyn Lindsay, renowned designer and maker in wood, demonstrating her unique skills on a lathe. In front of an attentive audience of 90 members and guests, Carlyn expertly turned one of her signature, geometrically patterned, lidded bowls.
