ARTIST’S TALK: SJ Fowler – Asemic Writing
Link to talk

The potential of poetry expands beyond the legible and typed in this workshop lecture by poet and artist SJ Fowler. An advocate for asemic poetry – that is words without semantic content – this talk suggests the handwritten, the messy, the exploring of words themselves, is the first stop of writing poems and is a world of exploration for any writer. Connecting the aesthetic, historical and neurological, asemic writing is a global movement of avant garde practice championed by Fowler in the UK.

SHED TALK: Ian Chamberlain
Link to talk
#shedtalks

I have had a longstanding fascination with technological and architectural forms, including structures within industry, agriculture, science and the military. My work interprets these manmade structures as monuments placed within the landscape acting as architectural metaphors of past and current technological achievements. Some of these structures represented are now defunct or have been superseded or reconfigured for different uses.

During the lockdown period with no access to print facilities or being able to travel to these locations I have had concentrate on my original drawn works and simplified my focus on concept and process. In turn this has highlighted potential for future photographic, drawn and printed overlaps. This presentation covers a brief overview of my background and the effects of lockdown on my practice and creating a new body of work.

SHED TALK: John Bently – The Effluents of Slingy Gaw.
Link to talk
#shedtalks

In this shed talk John Bently aka Liver & Lights is talking about stuff he’s been making in his studio in lockdown. Removed from his usual inspirations (people, conversations, hustle and bustle, the city etc.) his work has taken a strange mystical turn, becoming a series of 35 or so (so far) paintings of a parallel world in which there might be heard uncanny echoes of the real world.… These will, of course, one day become a book.  The series is called The Effluents of Slingy Gaw. The video also contains the artist and his son Arthur Bently jamming good. Arthur also did the filming…

Link to talk
#shedtalks

Susanne Klein is an EPSRC Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council Manufacturing fellow and an associate professor at the Centre for Fine Print
Research. She is a physicist by training and has lived and worked in the UK for the last 25 years. She studied physics in Germany and came as a Royal Society Research fellow to the University of Bristol where she worked on 19th century optics. In 1998 she joined Hewlett Packard Labs and specialised in liquid crystal display technology, new materials for 3D printing and optical cryptography.

Her research interests now are 19th century photomechanical processes and their 21st century incarnations, from Woodburytype to photo lithography, from Lippmann photography to photogravure and everything in between and beyond. She is also exploring the interaction and feedback between maker and the materiality of the creation and how colour is generated in the brain. Lockdown has made her tidy up her garage (not necessarily visible to the untrained eye) and transform it into a studio/lab which allows her to follow her research interest from home. The talk is a tour through her garage and gives a flavour what can be done in a shed.

TALK: Immediately Intimate, Exploring Shifting Landscapes – Niamh Fahy
Link to talk


Niamh is a visual artist whose print-based practice explores the interpretation of landscape. Considering the intimate and complex connections between memory and landscape she regards timespans before and beyond our existence as a means to re-examine our relationship to the ever-shifting architecture of landscape. Through a multidisciplinary print practice, she builds intimate narratives that seek to make visible the imperceptible changes in landscape, inviting dialogue on the understanding of the fundamental pressures that propel transformation within our natural environment.

Niamh graduated from the MA Multi-disciplinary Printmaking course at UWE in June 2019.
Niamh joined the Centre for Fine Print Research in November 2019 as a Research Associate as part of
our Expanding Excellence in England investment

TALK: Choosing the Right Colour: The Complex World of Colour and Texture –
Professor Carinna Parraman
Link to talk


As artists we are attracted to colours and colour harmonies, and in some cases return to these over and again, as designers we need to be able to present colour palettes and translate these between media, as scientists we need to accurately specify colour. Nature has its own way of displaying and organising colour. If all objects were made of only one material and that material was smooth and uniform, then our world be very dull. My talk is about choosing colours and the complex relationship of creating, visualising and organising colour.

Prof. Carinna Parraman, Director of the CFPR is a specialist in colour printing, theory and perception within the fields of fine art, design and the applied arts, in particular the craft of the digital. Carinna’s research interests addresses texture printing also called 2.5D printing, RGB printing and paper engineering.

TALK: Jewellery ± Scent x Science = Alchemy? – An Alchemical Jeweller’s approach to objects, adornments, craft and value – Sofie Boons
Link to talk

Contemporary jewellers are considered artists of the miniature sentiment and crafters of the wearable statement. Outside the realm of status and commodity, jewellery can be used to visualise the intangible and conceptual, creating objects and adornments that ask wearers to think, audiences to ask and all to discuss.

Through an insight into my practice as Alchemical Jeweller you will be taken on a journey to find solutions for the representation of the ephemeral and intangible. Work ranging from; a new material containing gold nanoparticles; a recipe book of solid perfumes; scent containers that rethink the wearing and application of perfume; and more, can be can be heard – seen – touched – smelled (but not eaten).
Sofie Boons is a Research Associate at CFPR. Sofie graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp as Bachelor ‘Jewellery Design and Silversmithing’; finished her Masters project ‘The fifth Sense of Jewellery’ at the MAD-Faculty in Hasselt and completed postgraduate studies in ‘Goldsmithing, Silversmithing, Metalwork and Jewellery’ at the Royal College of Art, where her work won the Theo Fennell Overall Excellence Award. She has worked as an independent designer and educator. Most recently she has worked as the Head of Academy for the British Academy of Jewellery, taking responsibility for the overall academic direction of the educational institution.

Her research practice as an alchemical jeweller is not restricted to a certain material or technique and through collaboration with others, she seeks new and innovative alternatives for the traditional and her passion for scents continues as a topic and inspiration. Sofie also hosts the British Academy of Jewellery podcast, discussing promotion, CAD and more in the context of jewellery making.

CREATIVE CHALLENGE: CFPR Three Tools Challenge – Sofie Boons

#letstalktools

We shape our tools
and afterwards
our tools shape us.
– John Culkin

We invite you to take/compose/produce an image/representation of 3 tools/instruments/apparatuses that have significance for you.

Last month all Centre for Fine Print Research colleagues shared an image of their three tools/instruments/apparatus that were significant to their work. The activity aims to encourage people to stop and reflect on what they use as tools in everyday life – a task that seemed appropriately timed given the new home-working scenario, with many lacking access to their usual range of tools and having to think especially creatively about ways of working. Picking only three tools proved to be a challenge for many of our researchers, and the stories behind people’s choices sparked inspiring virtual team discussions.

Sofie said: ‘Some of us grow so used to our tools, their handling becomes second nature and without them we could not do what we do. Some of these tools are bought, some made, most of them have also been designed, sometimes we use them as intended, sometimes we use them for tasks they were not designed for, and in some cases their limitations are inspirational. By having a moment to pay tribute to them, and share them with each other, we can catch a meaningful glimpse of each other’s research through process and skill.’

So now it is over to you, choose 3 tools that are important to you, take an image or produce a representation of them and share them on Instagram or Twitter. Collectively we’ll build a library of tools that the world couldn’t be without.

Share the picture on Instagram (@CFPR_Research) or Twitter (@CFPRresearch), and tag us in, with the #letstalktools

SHED TALK: Born in Lockdown – Cecilia Mandrile
Link to talk
#shedtalks


During the months of lockdown, the world seemed to be taking a long pause inhabited by fears, almost breathless. And yet inside, a life cycle goes on, Art goes on. From the matrices, clay and handkerchiefs nested in my little studio-room in Bristol, a community of sorrow dolls was born. As lockdown continues, the mission was to allow them freedom and a permanent caring home, where they can experience the welcoming touch of others.

Cecilia Mandrile joined the CFPR in October 2019 as an Artist Fellow as part of our Expanding Excellence in England investment from Research England. Cecilia is an artist, researcher and educator. Her enquiry demonstrates a mixture of ethnographic, historical, critical and empirical methods incorporating both technical and practice-based research to create a body of knowledge underpinned by the rehearsal of aesthetics of displacement through the construction and de-construction of print-based tangible artefacts to be translated in found places along the journey. She works between traditional and digital emerging technologies, focusing in experimental substrates such as ceramics, recycled cardboards, textile photography, 3D and 2D scanning.

TALK: Screen Printing or Serigraphy – Dave Fortune
Link to talk


Dave Fortune has worked at UWE for many years managing the water-based screenprinting department at ‘The School of Creative Arts in Bristol’. In 1989 Dave spent time at the ‘University of Berlin’ researching water-based screenprinting. On returning to the University of the West of England he proceeded to set up and run a completely solvent free screenprinting area. His involvement in the story of water-based ink development and water-based ceramic decal development at UWE, Bristol was invaluable. His enthusiasm during those early days of the changeover from oil-based to water-based inks to his present commitment to disseminating the information to schools, colleges and universities is boundless. He also regularly organises and runs workshops, seminars and summer schools in the UK and internationally.

TALK: Iridescence in the Ancient Americas –
Abigail Trujillo Vázquez
Link to talk

Iridescence in the ancient Americas was a distinctive element of sacred birds such as the hummingbird or the quetzal, and an attribute of deities and archetypes linked to these birds. Real and illusory feathers and specifically the quetzal feathers were used to symbolise what is precious. Artistry in the Classic and Postclassic periods of Mesoamerica was recognised as a gift from Quetzalcoatl, the precious serpent. The interest in colours and materials to communicate specific optical effects led to the use of transparency in wall painting and the development of a nanostructured material, the Maya blue pigment.

Abigail discusses the physics and perception of structural colour in nature and processed materials by exploring archaeology, and we venture into other interpretations of iridescence based on words and artworks.

Abigail Trujillo Vazquez is a Research Associate at CFPR as part of the ApPEARS (Appearance Printing European Advance Research School) project, a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions Innovative Training Network (MSCA-ITN).

CREATIVE CHALLENGE: Pinhole Camera Challenge – Frank Menger
Link to video

#cfprpinhole

Frank Menger is a Senior Researcher at the CFPR at UWE Bristol, specialising in historical photographic processes. For the summer festival, Frank is demonstrating how to make a simple cardboard pinhole camera to use as a drawing aid.

A pinhole camera is a basic camera without a lens, which projects an image through a small aperture (a hole the size of a pin) onto the opposite side of an enclosure, onto which a piece of tracing paper is attached. When viewed under a dark cloth (a towel or similar), we can observe an inverted and reversed image, which can be traced off. Watch the video and download the instructions. #cfprpinhole

SHED TALK / DEMO: Paste Papers with Jeff Rathermel
Link to talk
#shedtalks

Artist, educator and curator Jeff Rathermel, (St. Paul, Minnesota, USA) gives us an illuminating introduction to ‘paste papers’ and demonstrates paste recipes and applications. Jeff explains, “Paste papers have been used by book artists for centuries. As an alternative to traditional marbling, they utilise relatively common, safe and inexpensive materials. Paste papers offer a multitude of pattern possibilities – from bold abstractions to subtle intricate designs – and are well suited for those first starting their investigations into surface design.”

SHED TALK: Ben Goodman
