FADE are pleased to announce that 5 researchers from UWE’s Centre for Fine Print Research will be visiting Chelsea college of art and design on Friday the 16th May.
CFPR is renowned as one of the leading research centers of it’s kind in the world. The centre has a staff of eleven researchers plus doctoral research students researching offering a wide range of practical and theoretical expertise. As their website states, ‘The main focus of research at the CFPR concerns the development of quality fine print, this is primarily undertaken from a fine art perspective. We recognise however, that print is inexorably linked to industrial development so therefore we are also equally comfortable with conducting research from an industrial perspective.’
There will be 5 speakers at the event which will include:
Their research includes:
‘Alternatives to four-colour and the development of photomechanical print processes’
‘The re-examination and revival of the collotype medium (19th century photomechanical printing process) as an ideal means of reproducing digitally generated hardcopy.’
‘Continuous tone photomechanical processes and their application with current technology, particularly in relation to printed ceramics.’
The details for the event are as follows:
