Join Te Toi Uku Crown Lynn Museum director Louise Stevenson for an intriguing journey telling the story of Crown Lynn, New Zealand's iconic ceramics manufacturer, from early brick-making days to the hey-day of ceramic swans. Loved nationally, Crown Lynn crockery was in every Kiwi kitchen cupboard for decades and is now highly collectable.
Whether you're fascinated by classic New Zealand stories, a keen Crown Lynn collector or just curious about our amazing industrial heritage, you won't want to miss this talk. Do you want to know more about a Crown Lynn item of your own? Bring along a photo (or the item itself, if it's not too precious!) to find out more about the story behind it. Louise will share her expertise in identifying and researching Crown Lynn after the talk – as time allows.
