The WIS- Established 1956
Although the Wedgwood International Seminar was established in 1956, in
fact, there were rumblings about an organization in 1955 when Harry and
Nettie Buten met with Hensleigh Wedgwood, then head of Wedgwood USA, and began
to conjure up the outlines of what has been called for over forty
years the WIS. As you can readily calculate, the 50th anniversary will be
in 2005.
The first Seminar was held in Philadelphia April 13-14, 1956. Since that year
the Seminars have been held in many cities in the United States as well as in
Canada and Britain. At the Seminars illustrated lectures are featured as
well as exhibitions, visits to collections, visits to antique fairs, auctions,
and member’s demonstrations of their ‘finds.’ The Proceedings of the Seminars
are subsequently published and some of the back-issues are still available.
(see Proceedings). Most of all the annual Seminars give members the
opportunity to hear the latest research, the latest news, and keep abreast of
events
