If you are in London between the 6th and the 15th of January try to spare an hour or so to visit Designer Crafts at the Mall Gallery, which is in The Mall quite close to Trafalgar Square. They show high class ceramics, furniture, glass, textiles and quite a bit of jewellery.

It is like a breath of spring in an otherwise gloomy month and one of my favourite shows. There is a coffee bar too. http://www.societyofdesignercraftsme...hibitions.html .

Happy New Year, Dennis.
