Antidepressants Monoprints and Crit with Babeworld3000

I’ve made myself a little DIY monoprint set up for my room consisting of a sheet of perspex and a roller and ink from a home linocut kit. The above photos show the set up and the process for the series I made about 2 months ago (I was going to wait until I had […]

Further GIF Experiments

Making a gif banner seems a bit hit and miss- the lowest down one is the best one I’ve managed to make so far, but I’m still not 100% happy with it so I’m going to keep experimenting until I get it right. Also it turns out RedBubble only accept PNG or JPEG for their […]

Research Into Creating For Wider Audiences

Dyslexia Friendly Key Points: choose a more legible font- i.e. Arial, Comic Sans, Calibri, Open Sans (Sans Serifs preferable) High contrast between text and background larger font sizes and slightly bigger spaces between letters and words, and between lines of text (kearning/tracking/leading) Off white neutral backgrounds with minimal patterns or pictures work best Avoid uppercase/all […]

Collages (Prep for Zine Making Workshop)

I’m running a drop in zine making workshop for young people as part of my artist residency at The Playground next week, so I bought some newspapers last week to make an example zine to show at the workshop. This is the result so far! These collages will be made into the zine (hopefully). The […]

3D scanning with Einscan

I mentioned this new 3D scanning available in the 3D workshop briefly in my weekly summary post, but I thought I should probably do a separate post for it, as it is a really exciting piece of kit that I have learnt to use. The Einscan is a piece of kit and accompanying software for […]

Experimenting with Meshmixer 05/06/19

Meshmixer Sped up Test from Kat Outten on Vimeo. After my first attempt editing an iPad scan of my bone didn’t go so well (you could see where I dragged the mesh, and this was visible on the 3D print) I was a bit hesitant to try again. This video was originally a 5 and […]

Monday 03/06/19 Took moulds from foundry down to Ceramics studio and started testing them out The clay is much softer than anticipated- I am used to more solid materials such as the wax, so de-moulding has proven more difficult- the clay loses shape as soon as you try to pull it out of the moulds […]
