Grant Gibson talks to Ted Noten about jewellery, guns and dead mice whilst avant-garde Swedish craft collective ‘We Work In A Fragile Material’ give Glenn Adamson a guided tour of their papier mache city. Emma Crichton-Miller finds the modern masters in contemporary basketry, also we take a peek at the V&A’s Telling Tales exhibition and its curator Gareth Williams explains how a generation of designers learned to love narrative.
