Technical Update – July 2019

REMET Art Prize Winner Announced

REMET UK in partnership with Kingston School of Art and AB Foundry, ran an art competition for the students. They were tasked with producing a small cast bronze artwork that would showcase the investment casting method.

Over 50 entries were submitted, from which a shortlist of 8 were selected to produce their pieces. The pattern work was done in the workshops at the Kingston School of Art, once these were complete the students shelled and cast the pieces at AB Foundry.

The finished entries were then displayed in a show at the Stanley Picker Gallery, where a panel of judges selected Caitlin Reilly and her “Yorkshire Puddings” as the winning piece.
