Ottewill Apprentices bound at Goldsmiths' Hall

9/1/2018

 
Picture
Ottewill are investing in the next generation.
They currently have two bound apprentices. Will Sullivan and Lewis Towens are following centuries of others who have been bound apprentices of the Worshipful Company of Goldsmiths. In a ceremony dating back 700 years, apprentices are appointed a Master Craftsperson and learn the age-old skills of the Silversmith or Goldsmith under their guidance.

Will completed a one year pre-apprenticeship course at the Goldsmiths’ Centre and then joined as Steve Ottewill’s apprentice in 2016.
Lewis Towens joined the company and has been bound as an apprentice in 2017 under the guidance of his father, Paul Towens, a Cartier Award winning craftsman.
Both will embark on the development of an apprentice piece of work which will be presented to the Goldsmiths’ Company on the completion of their 5 years. Upon completion they will be awarded the Freedom of the Goldsmiths’ Company as well as the Freedom of the City of London.
