Revitalising a Victorian underglaze print archive: investigating materials for roller composition married to new, safer lead-less inks

该项目旨在振兴一个广泛的档案的历史模式，一旦用于生产釉下组织打印生产转移在伯利陶器。这些图案已经有100年没有进入公共领域了，尽管薄纸印刷工艺仍然在使用，但伯利是英国最后一个使用这种传统手工制作工艺的陶器。这个合作项目之间的中心精细印刷研究，UWE布里斯托和伯利陶器将可能旨在保护这种“工匠的过程”，并导致在收购新的知识和技术改进，其模式的生产结合新的改进印刷工艺。初步的研究将集中在背景的历史影响的原始模式导致回到中国陶瓷的影响和“民族痴迷”的蓝色和白色瓷器。在其他陶瓷生产商（如斯波德和韦奇伍德）的背景下，对这些图案的历史参考也很重要，对主要消费者的评价以及陶器在其生产的特定时期的流行程度也很重要。纸巾打印过程仍然是关键的生产方法在伯利和如何演变成一个广泛的组合设计在伯利将进行讨论。目前的兴趣在全国范围内的陶瓷行业将涉及当前的关键话语，重点是陶瓷行业的重要性与版画和陶瓷，如保罗斯科特，夏洛特霍兹和格雷森佩里指数的讨论。研究方法将包括访问与辊/板和图案书上的雕刻档案中显示的重新发现的设计的主要来源。该项目将寻求与Burleigh的合作项目相关的个人（如营销和管理团队）讨论相关问题。这也可能包括参与王子信托谁可能有兴趣在该项目作为投资者在未来的伯利。使用口述历史的方法与当前的组织打印机谁能够贡献与真实的生活经验的过程和工作在伯利。视觉研究将提供对当前英国陶瓷双年展，特伦特河畔斯托克，维多利亚和阿尔伯特博物馆以及牛津阿什莫林等陶瓷领域重要藏品的全面了解。批判性制作也可能是有用的，作为一种技术，研究组织打印转移方法，以充分参与该过程作为一个设计师-制造商。正在与Burleigh谈判的这一合作项目的潜在好处可能是产生一个按时间顺序排列的在线历史目录，作为Burleigh未来使用的图案设计的综合文件。这一档案生产也可能导致一个新的“原型”组织打印模式/s将作为一个新的收集伯利的投资组合。精细印刷研究中心和伯利之间的合作项目可以作为一种营销策略来强调，并为伯利的旅游业带来优势。这种新模式的产生可以通过举办讲座和研讨会以及讲习班和展览与广泛的受众分享。与组织打印工人的知识交流可以包括共享知识和对过程和生产的每个部分的理解。这一知识将导致进一步增强社区身份的当地居民在这一地区谁将有一个家庭和文化联系与伯利。

This project aims to revitalise an extensive archive of historic patterns once used to produce under glaze tissue print production for transfers at Burleigh Pottery. These patterns have been not been in the public domain for 100 years and even though the tissue print process is still in use, Burleigh is the last pottery in the UK to use this traditional hand made process. This collaborative project between the Centre for Fine Print Research, UWE Bristol and Burleigh Pottery will potentially aim to protect this 'artisan process' and result in the acquisition of new knowledge and technological improvements in the production of its patterns combined with new improved printing processes. Initial research will focus on the background historical influences of the original patterns leading back to the influence of the Chinese ceramics and the 'national obsession' with blue and white porcelain. Historical references to the patterns are also important within the context of other ceramic producers such as Spode and Wedgwood with an appraisal of the main consumers and the popularity of the pottery at that specific period in its production. The tissue print process is still pivotal to the production methods at Burleigh and how this evolved into an extensive portfolio of designs at Burleigh will be discussed. Current interests nationally in ceramics within the context of the industry will involve a current critical discourse focusing on the importance of the ceramic industry with a discussion of exponents of printmaking and ceramics such as Paul Scott, Charlotte Hodes and Grayson Perry. Research Methods will include access to primary sources with the re-discovered designs displayed in the archive of the engravings on rollers/plates and pattern books. The project would seek to discuss the relevant issues with individuals who are connected with collaborative project at Burleigh such as the marketing and management team. This could also include involvement with The Princes Trust who may have an interest in the project as investors in the future of Burleigh.The methodology of using oral histories with current tissue printers who are able to contribute with real lived experiences of the process and working at Burleigh. Visual research will provide a comprehensive understanding of significant collections of this field of ceramics at the current British Ceramics Biennial, Stoke-on-Trent, the Victoria and Albert Museum and The Ashmolean in Oxford for example. Critical making may also be useful as a technique to research the tissue printing transfer method to engage fully with the process as a designer-maker. Potential benefits of this collaborative project under negotiation with Burleigh could result in the production of a chronological on-line historical catalogue as a comprehensive document of pattern designs for Burleigh to use in the future. This archival production could also result in a new 'prototype' tissue print pattern/s to be produced as a new collection for Burleigh's portfolio. The collaborative project between Centre for Fine Print Research and Burleigh could be highlighted as a marketing strategy and have advantages for the tourist industry at Burleigh. The generation of this new pattern could be then shared with a wide range of audiences with the organisation of talks and seminars as well as workshops and exhibitions. Knowledge exchange with the tissue print workers could include shared knowledge and understanding of each part of the process and production. This knowledge will lead to a further enhanced community identity for the local residents in this area who would have a family and cultural connection with Burleigh.
