Welcome to our new Master Glazier, john Reyntiens MBE! John was installed at our dinner here at Glaziers Hall on Thursday, along with Tim McNally as Upper Warden, and Helen Whittaker MBE as Renter Warden. There is something very special for a livery company when the master is a true practitioner of the craft, and it added a real buzz to the evenings atmosphere. We were delighted to welcome the Mayor of Southwark, Naima Ali, and the Deputy Master of the Worshipful Company of Scientific Instrument Makers , Aubrey Dunford. The new Master will be emphasising the importance of the art and craft of stained glass throughout his year, with a programme including a series of two day stained glass workshops, and a trip to Lithuania. Many congratulations to the new Master and Wardens.
