Judges comments

"Laura's ABC book is wonderful in many ways, not only is it delightfully witty but the quality of craftsmanship is outstanding.

Laura's imaginative and skilfully executed work shows her interest in the V&A's collections and the amount of thought and care that went into her book testifies to her profound engagement with the pieces that inspired and informed her work."
