New Designers

The jewellers and textile artists ran away with most of the prizes at New Designers - which didn't surprise me as I thought they were outstanding. But one of our Farnham glass BAs got shortlisted so that's encouraging.
Also went on the same day to Daughter No. 2's PV at the Collier Bristow gallery where I had a chat to a glass artist (see pic) who doesn't blow or cold-work his pieces at all. Nor does he acknowledge the craftsmen in the hand-outs. His view was that a Director doesn't acknowledge everyone on every occasion, but they do all get credits on the film. Not sure I feel this is right.
