Is anyone going to be watching? I absolutely love it despite only ever having one go at throwing a pot at school, forgetting to take my foot off the pedal and watching as the clay shot off the wheel into the adjoining open-plan science area. Looking forward to the new host too as I felt the last one made it a bit like a vehicle for her stand-up comedy routine.

I like hot rod too!

Piggywaspushed · 06/02/2022 20:26

Some of these are too muted.

Wolfcub · 06/02/2022 20:26

AJ first I guess

lollipoprainbow · 06/02/2022 20:27

Didn't like any of those !! Simple designs would have worked better.

TheSpottedZebra · 06/02/2022 20:27

AJ's is not unlike Orla's stem print, is it?
(Looks at mug)

Jellykat · 06/02/2022 20:28

I dont.. firstly let me say ive a BA hons in textiles..
She charges way too much for her fabrics, theyre not clever just a constant variation on a theme for years.. but i also work in retail and know a few years ago she closed a fair few shops practically overnight, with no warning for her staff, she didnt give a shit.

Piggywaspushed · 06/02/2022 20:28

Oh. Not good.

Halsall · 06/02/2022 20:29

Just had to jump on to agree that AJ's basically WAS an Orla Kiely design....

Maireas · 06/02/2022 20:29

Yes, I thought it was similar.
SwedishEdith · 06/02/2022 20:33

Yes, have always thought she basically reshuffles the same design - which is probably a copy of something else? I remember having cheap lampshades and waste bins with similar designs.

Anyway, I like Nick. He looks like he'd be a cool surfer type but he's actually really lacking in confidence about his designs.

Saucery · 06/02/2022 20:34

AJ’s was good, as usual, but I think it won because it was an Orla Kiely design.
I’m not a fan of her patterns. Money for old rope.

Maireas · 06/02/2022 20:37

That's bad, @Jellykat.
I agree that AJ's won because it was essentially an Orla Kiely design.

... but then if people were buying her stuff, they obviously liked even if it was repetitive.
Jellykat · 06/02/2022 20:44

Mary Quant logo rip off i'd say.. SwedishEdith
Suspect Orlas had her day i'd say.. she'll be stuffed, as not artistic enough to develop another non Quant theme.
Rant over.. Grin

TheSpottedZebra · 06/02/2022 20:45

I think she is stuffed. Didn't her company go into administration?

TheSpottedZebra · 06/02/2022 20:45

Anyway Grin I'm repeating myself, but I LOVE AJ'S!

TheSpottedZebra · 06/02/2022 20:46

Ooh, and Anna's.

Wolfcub · 06/02/2022 20:46

I like AJ's and Irish lady's

JoyOrbison · 06/02/2022 20:47
