All comments welcome.

Very nice Abi.
One place near the top you've got a bit of a run-on sentence: 'Fry was on a mission, he wanted to bring Post Impressionist ideals to applied design, moving away from the elegant, dark and retro curves of the Arts & Crafts movement.'
You should put either a full stop or a semicolon after the 'Fry was on a mission' bit.
Other than that minor thingie, it was a very fine little entry.

Hi, Abi!
This is certainly a very interesting topic (and not one I'd ever heard of before!)
I think it would be a good idea to mention that Fitzroy Square is in (or near?) Bloomsbury, and that Fry, Grant and Bell were all part of the Bloomsbury Group which included the famous writers Virginia Woolf (Vanessa Bell's sister), EM Forster and Lytton Strachey. I had heard a lot about the writers of the Bloomsbury Group, but I didn't realise unitl I saw your entry that the artists also formed a very distinctive group.
There is an interesting site at
http://www.charleston.org.uk/about.htm
about Vanessa Bell's and Duncan Grant's country house in Sussex which has apparently been restored. It appears to have a collection of Omega Workshop objects, as well as other works by Fry, Grant and Bell.

Hi Abi! This is a good entry - short and sweet. There are a few minor spelling and punctuation points to be tidied up.
Poidatric --> Podiatric
mission, he --> mission. He
democratic, --> democratic;
high profile split --> high-profile split

Get your butt into gear girl - we need this for the Edited Guide.
*sigh*
Maybe this will go the way of the Ponies Uni Project...

It's looking good, Abi! You managed to include the extra bits very smoothly. I think you've now dealt with everyone's suggestions, so now it's up to any passing scouts......
