Professional turners have for several years been invited to join the Master and members of the Court in an annual
Craft Meeting, a seminar for discussing subjects of common interest, such as methods of display and sale of turned
goods, and ways in which the Company can promote the well-being of the craft.
A notable outcome from the Craft Meeting has been The
Register of Professional Turners established by the Company in 1984. The Register is composed of turners who
offer a professional service to the public. Craftsmen who have demonstrated their high standards of design, execution
and finish, to one of the assessors appointed by the Company, are eligible for inclusion in the Register. Turners
who are accepted onto the Register are awarded a certificate and are permitted to use the letters "RPT" after their names
on business cards, letterheads and the like. They are entitled to use the Register logo and may also refer to the
connection between the RPT and the Worshipful Company of Turners.
A full list of the professional tuners on the register is accessible on the RPT website through
this link.
