The Koloron Brand seeks investors

The Koloron Brand seeks investors

        The owners of Koloron Art Fabric have recently issued an invitation to companies interested in investing in the Brand. The Brand has been trading for the past ten years in the Educational sector across all age groups from nursery to HE and in the Craft and Drama sectors where creative use of paper/fabric meets the needs of artists, students a designers.
        Investment and a joint venture will enable Koloron to grow and widen its product range to meet the many diverse needs of its customers. Creativity has always been core to Koloron’s interests and with a stronger base the Brand can grow to provide more innovative products and activities to creative people.
        Our first product is creative inspiration, our second is interesting Art materials.

Street Art pops up in Birmingham

There are many who believe that there is ‘no time like the present’ but very few who use the idea for a wall painting. Debra Hall and the community Arts Group at Saint Martins have done just that.

Saint Martins is central to Birmingham’s the famous Bullring. No surprise that a bull features strongly, other landmarks will be quickly recognized and the theme exhibits the energy and live that floods through this inner city area.

The group of artists came together especially for this project. Feedback Debra received has only been from those directly involved with the project and from members of the public who stopped to observe the mural's painting on April 9th. However the artists gave really positive remarks in regards to the success of the project overall, and each have expressed a wish to work on something again in the future.

Spectators were quietly captivated watching the process.

Colour and culture, faith and beliefs are constantly examined in Saint Martins rapidly developing community. Which colour and why? You will have to ask Debra and the other artists who painted intensively for the day.

Shortly to be relocated to the Church of St Martins you will able to inspect it for yourself if you get to Birmingham.

Debra Hall lead artist and Fiona Spence a mural artist were supported by Faye Binnell a student of Visual Arts and Artists Natalie Rix, Jane English and Roman Hvizdak. You can email Debra at mail2debra@btinternet.co

Wall Art is giving many people the opportunity to express ideas and emotions that are tied up with their lives. A release or a celebration it matters not, it’s down to the message that it carries.

Koloron are happy to provide materials to artists and schools for similar projects. email mailbox@koloron.com with your ideas

Street Art and Koloron, a new project.

How to save thousands of Street Art images every year

Throughout 2010 Koloron are inviting UK Artists and Art Groups to enter creative ideas for an exciting project. We at Koloron know there are a lot of talented Artists looking for large spaces to paint their work. A big wall painting is great but is often not appreciated by the person who owns the wall. On many occasions the work is remarkable but because it is seen as graffiti they are lost when the Local Authority has a clean up. Now there is a solution.

Line the wall with Koloron Art Fabric so it can be rolled it up and displayed again somewhere else. Art will never be lost and can always be exhibited again where and when it is wanted.

And here is the real benefit. If we like your creative ideas we will show up on the day to film the painting as it goes up. We will pay for the materials and make a short film of it for the Internet.

If it’s good and makes a news worthy point we will do our best to get the Artist and the film media attention. In one short jump an Artist can go from unappreciated and anonymous to media celebrity.

There will shortly be more details on our Website about how to submit ideas together with how the process works. Visit www.koloron.eu

Jane has a go at the Four Elements with Koloron

Jane Bower got one hundred Year 5 children to consider the Elements. Hardwick Middle School in Bury St. Edmunds, Suffolk set to work creating a number of 4ft square panels. One for each of the Classic Elements.

According to Empedocles, Greek philosopher, scientist and healer, all matter is comprised of four "roots" or elements. Earth, Air, Fire and Water. Well it was the fifth century B.C.

However Koloron Art Fabric turned its hand to a creative interpretation. Working with heat, water and a lot of colour the children had an inspiring time.

Thank you Jane and Year 5 from Bury, seems like a great workshop. One hundred?

Materials that change with Heat.

Workshops with Jane Bower

One of the many interesting qualities of Koloron Art Fabric is its reaction to heat. Like many materials it transforms in exciting ways, ways that can be creatively controlled, often with surprising results.

Heat and its effects on art materials is the subject of a workshop run by Jane Bower where she combines Art and Science and explores the results.

Intended for those teaching at KS1/2 the one-day workshop explains how to fire without a kiln, make objects by heating wax, wood and fabrics and the use of plant dyes. All classroom Health and Safety issues are fully covered, as is the importance of heat throughout history. Everybody will take away a wide range of examples and techniques. And will have had a brilliant day.
If you want to discuss details and availability of this and other courses please contact Jane direct; jane-bower@ntlworld.com all enquiries are welcome.

Great Building

This brilliant Prep School came into view as I rounded a corner a week ago. I was so struck with the cleverness of the design that I had to stop and take a few pictures to share the experience.

It's called Colour Land and it's in the Turkish Republic of North Cyprus. And yes the bright sunshine does really help the colours to work on the imagination. Think what it must be like to be a kid who goes there. Fantastic.

I was blown away by the pencils that are in the walls, the relationship of the wonderfully bright colours that really go together so well and the irregular boxes that are the classes inside.

I don't know but may be you graduate from red to blue when your drawings get bigger and from green to orange when you've had another birthday.

It includes activity rooms for computer education, music, drama, television and a hall for physical activities. There is also a picnic area and an inner garden.

The school is offering education for children up to 6 both in English and Turkish and parents will be able to see their children at play and work via an Internet link.

That's creativity for you. Well done to whoever designed and built it and yes I wish I could go there. I wonder if they have supplies of Koloron?
