Affordable art auction at the Cambridge School of Art

I've not been to one of these but definitely plan to attend this year. I've heard from others that they're absolutely wonderful and really great fun.  Also, given the outstanding quality of work produced by students (and tutors) at the Cambridge School of Art (now part of Anglia Ruskin University), you're sure to find something brilliant to give as a Christmas present (or keep for yourself -- you may not be able to part with it...!)
