From Colour Fundamentals to Colour Applications Across Design and Industry


Announcing our new lecture series “From Colour Fundamentals to Colour Applications across Design and Industry”

Understanding the role of colours across industries varies significantly. It requires different skills, languages, and tools to communicate effectively and accurately. The series of lectures, “From Colour Fundamentals to Colour Applications across Design and Industry”, comprises nine inspirational women speakers who are experts and practitioners in their field.  All are working and drawing from their disciplines, including in printing, fashion design, product design, art, interior design, built environment (design, materials, urban planning, conservation), and material science and production, and will explore and discuss current thinking about the role of colours across disciplines.

The Fourth event is on 15th January 2025 via sign-up to an access code via EventBrite and will be available until midnight on that day. See the sign-up list and links below.

This series of CPD short lectures (approx 30 minutes per lecture) is aimed at practitioners working with colours in design. It is funded by the University of The West of England, Bristol, and hosted by the Centre for Print Research
