J.; Byfield, S. Resulting from collaboration between Hong Kong Open Print Workshop founded in 2000 and The Art Promotion Office, Department of Leisure and Cultural Services, based at The Hong Kong Visual Arts Centre, this event was the second of its kind to be hosted in the city. Involving 24 workshops the event showcased 300 prints by 195 artists from mainland China, Hong Kong, Macao, Australia, Bangladesh, Brazil, Canada, Ireland, Luxembourg, Portugal, UK and the USA. The resulting exhibition presented a fascinating insight into contemporary concerns, thematic and cultural as well as more pragmatic matters of media, technique and format. Master Printer Paul Croft was one of three artists invited to participate at the week of events - symposium, talks and workshops planned to coincide with the opening of the exhibition at Hong Kong City Hall. Croft also curated prints by ten artists to represent Aberystwyth School of Art and Aberystwyth Printmakers at the event. For the catalogue essay - Positivity in an Age of Doubt: A Time for Reflection – significantly Croft reflects upon the current status and popularity of printmaking in the UK – just at the time when there is increasing economic uncertainty and approaching austerity. Research into different processes of transfer lithography, including The Multiple Monoprint: Monoprint Transfer using Positive Photoplates was presented at a collaborative workshop at Hong Kong Visual Arts Centre on 18 December 2010 Involvement with this event subsequently led to 10 students from the School of Art participating in the Hong Kong Art Fiesta 2011 Xin Y Dai and one of our MA students – Gini Wade being invited out to Hong Kong to conduct a workshop in plate lithography. In 2012 Croft was invited to participate in the Hong Kong Art Fair and since then there has been some correspondence concerning the establishment of a formal exchange between Hong Kong Open Workshop, The School of Art and Aberystwyth Arts Centre.

Booth, E.; Green, M.; Karp, A.; Shield, I.; Stock, D.; Turley, D. The main purpose of the project was to assess the adaptability and biomass yield potential of old and new varieties of SRC willow (Salix spp.) through trialling in Wales. Two trials were established in 2003 (Trial I) and 2004 (Trial II) using a total of 19 willow varieties and planted at a stocking rate of 13,333 cuttings per hectare. Average yields of varieties in Trial I varied between 8.5-13.2 odt ha-1 yr-1 based on two harvest years and a biennial harvest rotation. Generally, variety yields were greater in the second harvest rotation probably due to an increase in stem number and stem diameter. Tordis was the most productive variety, although 13 of 15 varieties did produce average yields in excess of 10 odt ha-1 yr-1. Trial II incorporated three altitude sites, and variety yields were between 3.2-14.6 odt ha-1 yr-1 at 32 masl, 3.1-8.7 odt ha-1 yr-1 at 228 masl, and 2.0-7.9 at 296 masl in the first harvest year on a triennial harvest rotation. Discovery yielded best at 32 masl, Endeavour at 228 masl, and Inger at 296 masl. At each trial, the incidence of leaf rust, leaf damage and aphids were generally low and unlikely to have any adverse impact on variety yields. In addition, results of the chemical and physical properties of willow chip of varieties from Trial I showed that all varieties assessed would present reasonable quality feedstock for combustion. The implications of these results on the growth and development of SRC willow in Wales are discussed. RONO: B06241 Tue, 01 Jan 2008 00:00:00 GMT http://hdl.handle.net/2160/13601 2008-01-01T00:00:00Z
