NFWI Annual Meeting

 Speakers include: 

 Angel Strawbridge will join us at the 2025 Annual Meeting as a keynote speaker.  Angel is the founder of the Vintage Patisserie, a glamorous hospitality company, author of the  ‘Vintage Tea Party’ Series, and perhaps most known and loved for being co-owner of the Chateau-de-la-Motte Husson; featured in the Channel 4 series "Escape to the Chateau".  

 

Emma Bridgewater soon realised that there was a gap in the market for pottery that was both beautiful and practical, and that reflected the relaxed, colourful, mismatched home she’d grown up in.  Emma's pottery in Stoke-on-Trent produces more than 40,000 pieces of pottery a week and is sold worldwide.
