Here in Kidderminster we celebrated Red Nose Day with a Bake off special.  Staff very generously donated home baked cakes for the Bake Off Challenge and others purchased cakes which have been sold to raise funds for the charity.  In total we have raised £72.30 so far for Red Nose Day.  The difficult task of picking the best baker on the day fell to Shane, Julie and Jan who chose Lianne Wells’ cheesecake as the winner (though any of the bakes was worthy of a Paul Hollywood handshake.)  Shane presented Lianne with a certificate and Easter egg for her cheesecake.

In the past month in the UK , we were partners of choice, receiving visits at the hub from students from the Royal College of Art; including emerging artist Hetti Innis, to research materiality and colour in their work . We also then had students from the UAL Central St Martins, working on their Chroma project, where they use only Colart brands, post the knowledge transfer partnership. Then, working with the UCL Slade school of art and our archives, providing in store demos together on colour mixing at Cass in Islington last Saturday. It was a fantastic opportunity to work with the Slade in their flagship store, shown here with its beautifully designed layout highlighting contemporary artists, some of which are in the current Chromascopic exhibition at APT. The colour mixing demos really were through the eyes of the artists from the Slade  and the other images are just  very imaginative and innovative outcomes at the PMAM gallery with the CSM students from their Chroma project.

On March 4th, Romain and Toby got to get their paint on!

As both got to experience portrait painting with a little help of a tool called vullow. vullow is a software that turns anyone into an artist. You simply upload a photo you\’d like to paint into their software, and it will project it in six layers of light onto a surface (like a canvas). Then you just paint wherever the light is and create your own portrait painting!

In order to create their bespoke color palettes, they teamed up with Liquitex (and thanks to our I&D team in Le Mans) to create 30 unique and beautiful colors.

For Toby it was his second time and he got to experience the improvements that were made in the software and consumer experience over the last 2 years. For Romain it was his first vullow with already a very encouraging result. 

For all London hubbers: if you\’d like to experience vullow yourself, book your free slot now! Mike at White City Warehouse (formerly known as Elephant Space) has made it available free of charge for all hubbers to experience yourself. Try it out and let me know what you think !
