We are delighted to invite you to a special evening lecture of ‘Ceramics in the Frame’ on Thursday 19 November. Our special guest speaker, Anne Haworth, will take us on a fascinating journey into the world of ceramics and porcelain as seen through the paintings from the Mauritshuis collection.
Anne brings a wealth of knowledge and insight to this subject through her many years of experience as a ceramics specialist at the auction houses Bonhams and Christie’s, time spent living in China and a distinguished career as a historian and lecturer for the Arts Society and the Victoria and Albert Museum in London.
In her lecture, ‘Ceramics in the Frame’, Anne will reveal the exquisite porcelain and pottery depicted in many of the beautiful paintings in the Mauritshuis. She will invite us to look beyond the canvas and discover the stories, craftsmanship and cultural connections that these often-overlooked details can reveal.
It promises to be an engaging and illuminating evening, offering a fresh perspective on familiar masterpieces. There will, of course, be plenty of time for questions and discussion.

Hi, I’m Arn. A few years ago I started running. Now I run whenever it suits me: through the city, through the dunes, through Meijendel. At home I bake bread and buns, just for myself. I love craft: people making something with care, with their hands.Everywhere I saw themed runs pop up: a Beaujolais run, a Belgian beer marathon, sushi runs. So I thought: why not combine my two hobbies? That’s how the Bun Run began. Nothing complicated: running a lap together past nice places, with people who enjoy that as much as I do.There’s no club or company behind it, just me, and in each group a runner wearing the pacer button. So it’s small, and that’s how I want to keep it: up to a hundred runners, the tastiest bakers, one great morning.
