Design: Independent Competition

THE WINNER of the 1998 Jerwood Prize for Applied Arts: Glass was Tessa Clegg whose "resonant, spiritual and sexy" glass (see above, Red Ring) has appeared in museums and collections throughout the world. London- based Clegg, 42, received her pounds 15,000 prize from Sir Jocelyn Stevens at the Crafts Council this week.

Independent readers naturally pursued a different line. They nominated jointly Keiko Mukaide and Anna Dickinson, whose work was judged to be "expressive", "classically simple" and "luminous". Congratulations to Bernard Banks from Sherborne, Dorset, who is the winner of the Independent Competition, and to the two runners-up, N. Fletcher from Malton, North Yorkshire, and C. Powis from Kent.
