Riusuke Fukahori Paints Three-Dimensional Goldfish Embedded in Layers of Resin First: watch the video. Japanese artist Riusuke Fukahori paints three-dimensional goldfish using a complex process of poured resin. The fish are painted meticulously, layer by layer, the sandwiched slices revealing slightly more about each creature, similar to the function of a 3D printer. I really enjoy the rich depth of the pieces and the optical illusion aspect, it’s such an odd process that results in something that’s both a painting and sculptural. Wonderful. Creative Choices We believe in providing practical, useful information and advice, for those who want it. But we also think you have the answers for your own set of circumstances, and we’re just happy to listen and guide you if needed. We’re the glue between work and education and we want to see fair access for employees, so we work with partners on things like setting up entry to work programmes – like we did for Cultural Ambition – as well as with qualification development, support through training for CPD, being a connector through events and networking as well as championing and representing the needs of our sector and influencing policy. Our sector doesn’t stand still and that’s ok. We’re here for change – it’s what we do. We’ll keep talking about the skills that are needed to move our sector forward.
Contemporary British Silversmiths » CONNECT Collection The CONNECT Collection was the result of a collaboration between forty Full and Graduate members of the Association of Contemporary British Silversmiths and three industrial companies base in the West Midlands. The silversmiths were asked to create a new piece of work on the theme of dining in response to one of two objects: a simple white porcelain soup bowl, designed by Jasper Conran and manufactured by Wedgwood, and a more ornate, cut and etched crystal glass manufactured by Tudor Crystal. Cookson Precious Metals generously supplied the silver for the project How the bowl or the glass might be use to assist in the design was left entirely up to the silversmith, resulting in a diversity of approaches. For some, the utilitarian function of the object was the stimulus; for others, the function and usage was treated in a more notional manner.
