ESUJ New Year's Lecture

Back to the Table

-Old is New-

Lecture by Mr. Thomas R. Wedgwood
Wedgwood Brand Ambassador


There can be no one who hasn't heard of Wedgwood, England's renowned china company. ESUJ's guest speaker for our 2008 New Year's Lecture is none other than Mr. Thomas Rowland Wedgwood, 8th generation scion of the Wedgwood family, with a heritage extending back 250 years. Known as the 'father' of the English china industry, Josiah Wedgwood was also a scientist, marketer, and social reformer. Thomas Wedgwood is a worthy descendent of the firm's founding father as a man of wide interests, a marine scientist and professional ocean photographer as well as an expert on Wedgwood wares and the family history. A man steeped in the precious value of a long tradition and heritage for today, he is sure to speak enthusiastically of the Wedgwood Spirit. Don't miss this wonderful ESUJ event, the first of the New Year!
