Foundation Show

This years show was really good with some amazing work...here are some images of work produced in Small Metals

Large Scale Monoprints

These large abstract monoprints were produced by Kaz and Danni from ED2 for the Affordable Arts Fair and proved very popular with buyers. They both managed to sell most of their prints.

PHOTO-POSITIVE LITHO IN THE SUN

Mark from Fine Art is producing a series of photo-litho prints. Normally we would expose the plate to ultraviolet light on the exposure unit in the Textile Workshop but as it was such a sunny day we decided it would be more fun to expose the plate in the sun. This takes 3 minutes as opposed to 90 seconds on the exposure unit and also gave Mark the chance to catch some rays! Above is a photographic breakdown of the process which starts with the exposure of the plate using a black and white positive transparency in the contact frame. The contact frame is hung in a favourable position facing direct sunlight. Once exposed, the plate is then developed and rinsed. When it is dry, the plate is damped down with fountain solution and rolled-up with litho ink. The plate is then printed using the star-wheel etching press.

Belief Exhibiton Piece

Kat, from ED2, produced this great piece of work in the Ceramics and 3D Workshops.  The turtle was produced from chicken wire, overlaid with plaster bandage and then painted and flocked.  The cityscape was constucted in thin sheet steel and spot welded together.  The windows were cut out using the plasma cutter.  Kat worked really hard to make this happen, see if you can get along to the exhibition and see it in the flesh, it's very impressive.

Minature workings

Rob one of the final year jewellery students has made this intricate automata ring...a prototype in base metals. He intends producing something similar in silver and gold which will no doubt will be amazing!

Sandblasted Ceramic Tiles

Extended Diploma First Year have recently finished a project run in conjunction with the 3D Dept.  The students took ordinary white bathroom tiles and sandblasted an image on to the surface. Having done that, they applied oil paint to the porous surafce.  The results were really colourful and bright.  Well done to all involved ;-)
