Mike Gell

There was a good turn out in Small Metals last week when Mike came in to give his anual chat about 'Alloy' which is a Herefordshire based group of jewellers that he co-founded. Alloy has a graduate placement scheme which a number of HCA students have and still are benefiting from.

Oh my gosh Lasers! Pewpew pewpewpew!

... a few examples of what we've created recently in the 3D Workshop with the Laser Cutter...



NEW FACES IN THE PRINT ROOM

Here is a selection of prints produced by two FE students. The dramatic linocut prints of people in blindfolds were created by Corinne Benniman (Foundation) and the rather fine drypoint prints were created by Owen Rose (ED1).  

JACK'S DONE IT!

Jack Phillips ED2 has worked extremely hard to complete this large format 14 colour lithograph/stencil and card print in the manner of Andy Warhol. Well done Jack!

The casual observer would not realise just how complex and dificult a print like this is to produce as there are so many opportunities for it to go wrong. Concentration is the key.  

Glimpse at the bench.....

It's the final few weeks before the show and things are getting interesting in Small Metals; here are a few shots of what you can expect to see in the Summer Shows 15th-19th June 2013

MARILYN MEETS GEORGE. . .

Jack Phillips (ED2) has created this scary image of Marilyn Monroe morphing into George Osbourne in the style of Andy Warhol. The print was created using photo-litho and stencil prints. As with Warhol, there is a selection of different colours in this edition. Watch out for them in his final show.
