Closure of Isle of Wight Studio Glass
chilternhills:
Let's not write the studio off yet. The Isle of Wight County Press reported last Friday, January 11th:
--- Quote --- Mr Harris said he was determined to resurrect the business, in some form, in the future.
"I will continue to be a master glassmaker, but the structure of any future business that administers this indisputably creative and respected Isle of Wight company has yet to be confirmed," he said.
--- End quote ---

I don't know about the last 4... interesting and I'm a tad curious about what the implications will be...
My name is there as a former member of the collector's club (I didn't renew last year) and I am not at all happy that my details might be sold to somebody.
I'm also curious about the implications of designs and copyrights being sold.
Does this mean somebody else can start producing facsimiles of limited edition pieces?
but lot 88 is a freezer full of ice cream!
Frank:
If you did not renew last year you could contact the auctioneers with your objection.
Last 4 lots are a set up your own IOW glass company (anywhere) kit. Of course, I guess.... err hope... Broadfield house will be after the pattern?? technical book at least.
Anne:
One would hope so Frank.
