Call me old fashioned, but I did expect to be wowed by artistic and design talent, and I wasn't. Sad, somehow, that everyone feels under pressure to produce some quirky 'range'. What are art schools doing to students? Picked out here (permission to photograph given) some really quirky wineglasses -- which interested me, obviously, but I can't say I like them; a pair of anniversary rings and drinking glasses -- very beautifully made; and some exquisite bowls that looked like mother-of-pearl - but they're made of cling film. Of course one marvelled, but cling film? How robust can that be?
