Closure of Isle of Wight Studio Glass
chopin-liszt:
I think my objection is more to IoWSG selling me.
Tim told me when I joined the club that it meant that I was now part of the "Harris family".
I feel betrayed.
Frank:
It is a corporate world, peeps are now units of commodities.
chopin-liszt:
>:(
I don't join "clubs". It was a huge and really distasteful thing for me to have done, but I couldn't buy a vase I'd fallen in love with if I didn't. because it was CC exclusive. It was at the very first Open Day at the Studio. Tim was, I thought, trying to comfort me to make up for having had to do it.
I know you're right, Frank, but it still comes as a nasty shock every time it happens. I don't understand the corporate manners(or rather, the lack of them) of thinking- I think in a utilitarian manner.
Frank:
Manners have no impact on the balance sheet, which is all that counts today sadly.
Do you know if those lots were sold?
glassobsessed:
The Harris family bought the important assets including designs etc.
Perhaps not so long now for the rebirth (whatever form it takes): http://onthewight.com/2013/04/08/isle-of-wight-studio-glass-to-rise-from-the-ashes/
