New Prime Warden appointed at the Goldsmiths company!- Michael Wainwright
Story image
Image: Michael Wainwright, photograph by Julia Skupny
On Wednesday 18 May, a special service at St Vedast Church on Foster Lane and reception at Goldsmiths' Hall marked the inauguration of Mr Michael Wainwright as the new Prime Warden of the Goldsmiths' Company.
The Prime Warden changes annually, and Mr Wainwright succeeds Tim Schroder. He is Managing Director of British luxury jewellery retailer Boodles.
Michael spoke at our Make Your Mark event in 2015, and will present again at the event in November this year.
He describes himself as “passionately commercial” and believes in getting the best out of the market. He has spoken about his desire to improve the business and leadership skills of jewellers and silversmiths, and certainly our event, which runs exclusively for students, is the ideal arena in which to inspire those who wish to grow to fulfil their potential.

She is synaesthetic, which means she has a visual response to sound, particularly music. She uses the colorful inner landscape that this response gives her to make bold abstract jewelry and paintings that reflect the energy and emotion of the music that inspires her.She graduated from the University for the Creative Arts with a BA in three-dimensional design: metals and jewelry in 2007, and is occasionally called back to teach there on a sessional basis. Poppy also edits the Association for Contemporary Jewellery’s Findings magazine and has worked closely with many interesting clients and collaborators, including a live art/music project with solo-bassist Steve Lawson, the British Museum, the Royal Parks Foundation, Honda F1 Racing, and private collectors.Email: info@poppyporter.co.ukTwitter & Instagram: Poppy Porter Abstract Artist : Jeweller
