Wednesday and Thursday

It is the final push to get everything installed and ready to open tomorrow night, and I expect EVERYONE without exception to be in for these two days helping to get ready.
The Exhibition arrives today so the Link Gallery must be set out.
Tomorrow it is the Project Space to get ready for the night.
We are expecting a lot of people and need to be ready. You have all been doing a fantastic job - but there a couple of people who need to take more of a fair share of the jobs.
Meet you in the Link Gallery.

Where we are tonight - Tuesday 23rd September

Vanessa should have the 100 printed invites now.

Urjuan has the vinyl in hand for the windows and walls with a few amendments from me today.

Paul Haslam has agreed to speak for half an hour on Launch Night at 6.30pm.

I have sent the logo for Murray’s onto Urjuan to be added to the text to go on the wall vinyl in the Link Gallery.
  • 30 vinyls will be digitally printed in CMYK by Murray’s on their Intaglio Press for the tables on the night. That will allow for mistakes as we assemble them. Murray’s will need a few days to turn round the print.
  • I need the artwork tomorrow as a cmyk pdf.
  •  We will need to score diagonally across the long edge from opposite corners so we stick one ‘triangle’ to the table with the ‘Working with Paper’ brand, and then have a description of the process stuck to thick colour plan to allow the other attached ‘triangle’ stand up.
I have asked for 150 sheets Cobalt Blue; 150 sheets Park Green; and 100 sheets Factory Yellow in 175gsm to cover the tables.

I have asked for 150 sheets Cobalt Blue and 150 sheets Park Green 700gsm in 630 x 960 sheet size for the hanging triangles.

The paper to be printed on is going to be a mixture of colours, make and weight. I have asked for:
  • 3600 x A4 for 6 different designs (water based Screen printing; heat reactive Thermocromatic ink; and heat reactive Puff binding
  • 1200 x A5 for 2 different designs (blind embossing; and Conductive ink pens including LED lights and batteries)
  • 1800 x A6 for 3 different designs (Letterpress on the Adana; and Lasercut Lino printing)
  • C4 envelopes for the 'goody bags’ -  400 x Cobalt Blue; 200 x Park Green; and 300 x Factory Yellow (amounts may be reduced).
  • I have also asked about large piles of paper to put on the pallets.
Paper and envelopes will be with us hopefully by the end of the week.
We hope to get a box of Books, which would help explain the project to go on the magazine / book rack we had made for our Final Show we can tie them to as part of the exhibition.
Vanessa is chasing the films ‘Bright Red’ and ‘Making’ to put on a loop with our film.

The making day is Monday 29th, to test out the equipment and also start to make up some goody bags ready for the night.

The exhibition will arrive on Wednesday 1st October.
  • I will some of you there, and I also need to organise caretakers and techs to help assemble it from 10.30am in the Link Gallery. Cases are heavy and will need their legs screwed on.
  •  also need to organise them to help hang the triangles from the poles round the windows in the Link Gallery; and sofits in the Project Space.
