October Court Dinner

The Worshipful Company of Fan Makers welcomed Honorary Liveryman Frédérick Gay to the membership last Thursday and afterwards we enjoyed some of his wonderful fans at a display before the Court dinner at Saddlers' Hall.

Monsieur Gay is a well-known, contemporary French fan maker and currently has an exhibition called "Swaying in the Wind" at The Fan Museum in Greenwich.

He also made the fan which the Master, Dinesh Naidu, presented to HM The Queen earlier this year. He is also a committed teacher, working with students to ensure that the endangered craft of fan making survives.
