Louisa Taylor was also one of four Ceramics graduates from Bath Spa University who featured at Origin, the annual London craft fair, at Somerset House.
She, Hans Borgonjon, Jo Davies and Matthew Chambers all reported high levels of interest and sales at the fair, where Louisa won the UK Trade and Investment award for 'creativity and export potential' and the Homes and Property award for Best Product 2009 with her 'Oriole' supper set.
Louisa says she designed the set to explore the role of tableware in contemporary dining and to encourage sharing and relaxed eating.
A 2009 Ceramics graduate from Bath Spa University, Catherine Gray, had her vases chosen by Paul Smith for the designer's Autumn Collection. She was also taken by Design Gap to exhibit at Top Drawer Olympia, where she won Best New Product for the Home and a grant of 1,000 pounds.
