Today was an exciting day for the three finalists of the Dartington Crystal for competition.

A five am set off saw Rebecca Price and Lucinda Newbound driving down to devon armed with the finalists product collectionsThe work being shown was that of students Rebecca Price, Rebekah Davies and Lucinda Newbound. 

This journey was the culmination of months of work, planning, model making, prototype creation, glass blowing, CAD design and material experiments. It has been a phenomenal opportunity for the successful students to showcase their design, product development and presentation skills

The proposed products were presented, demonstrated and explained to head designer Hillary Green and company director Richard Halliday. Their enthusiasm and insight was invaluable and the response to the collections was very positive. All the work was praised for innovation, trend awareness and attention to detail. 

All work has now been left with Dartington for submission to the new products team in late January. We look forward to find out what might happen next and wish the three students the best of luck.
