Hi
I've recently been the end of year shows at Leeds College of Art and Burnley College. The standard has improved a lot at both institutions, Richard Jones especially should be proud of the show at Leeds after a difficult year.
One thing I have noticed is the drawer making and fitting. At neither of the shows did I see a traditionally make and fitted drawer, most were fitted on metal runners. Although I do not make such drawers as aften as I used to I think the making and fitting of a drawer teaches important lessons about attention to detail and accuracy. Is this the end of the traditionally fitted drawer!?
Also I think many students let their piece down by fitting cheap clunky drawer runners. I know students are working on a tight budget but money spent on good runners is well spent if you are wanting to impress at an exhibition.
