Editing Omega Workshops (section)

==Beginnings==
Fry aimed to remove what he considered to be the false divisions between the [[Decorative arts|decorative]] and [[fine art]]s, and to give his artist friends an additional income opportunity in designing furniture, textiles and other household accessories. Fry was keen to encourage a [[Post-Impressionism|Post-Impressionist]] influence in designs produced for Omega. However, [[Cubism|Cubist]] and [[Fauvism|Fauvist]] influences are also apparent, particularly in many of the [[textile design]]s.

To ensure items were bought only for the quality of the work, and not the reputation of the artist, Fry insisted works be shown anonymously, marked only with the letter [[omega]]. The products were in general expensive, and aimed at an exclusive market.
