MARBLING IN THE PRINT WORKSHOP

Here are a few examples of marbled paper produced by students on the Foundation and ED Courses.

CLARE'S BEEN BUSY

Clare Sheppard CAA3 has been creating lots of fabulous designs based on seaside themes. These prints are just a small snapshot of the work that she has produced. She has printed some of them onto fabric in order to cover chairs.

Laser Quest...(sorry)

Last week Ian and Becky put on a Laser Cutter training session for the Tech Dems which was really exciting; 
The laser cutter won't cut metal..but we can do that so no need but what it can do is cut rubber stamps that can then me used in conjunction with enamel. This is a big step forward for enameling in Small Metals and it opens up so much....

Ian going through the soft wear specifications

The Laser cutting the rubber for the stamp

The inked up stamp is pressed onto a piece of enameled metal

 and while the ink is still wet enamel is sifted onto the surface and 

the excess knocked off

The finished samples once the coloured enamel 

has fused to the surface in the kiln
