Clive Meredith has been invited be part of the Artist in Residence programme at the Nature in Art Museum, near Gloucester. Artists are invited by Simon Trapnell, Direcotor of the museum, to be part of the programme - which runs every week from Januray until October. This is the 4th time that Clive has been invited to take part.

Clive will be at the museum from February 3rd until February 8th, 2009. He will have a studio where he can work on an artwork, and there will be fully hung collection of his work. This is a great opportunity for any collectors of Clive’s work to meet him, see him working and view some of his work.

We’ve just received word from Keith Sykes that he is intending to make it to this years CLA Game Fair no matter how the weather turns out. To that end he has been modifying caravan to deal with all eventualities.

Image capture is the first step in the process of taking an original work of art and producing a limited edition print. We have recently invested significantly in our state of the art image capture studio. All of our image capture is performed on our new Cruse scanner. This large-format, flat-bed scanner enables us to scan originals up to 150cm x 245cm - currently this is exclusively available in the UK at Collier & Dobson Limited.

The Cruse scanner offers unparalleled optical precision, ensuring that the scan quality exceeds that of any other scan at a comparable dpi and file size. Its large depth of focus ensures that images on rippled or curled paper or canvas remain in focus across the entire image area.

Its advanced lighting system eliminates over 99% of reflection from glossy or varnished surfaces. Even lighting or textured lighting allow realistic reproduction of originals. The evenly lit scan results in minimal visible texture, heavy impasto remains visible, but paper texture will be minimal. Textured lighting results in visible texture of both the medium and the substrate.

We believe that to produce a great print you have to start with the best image, this scanner gives us the images we need to take best advantage of current printing technology. If you would like more information about our fine art printing services please do not hesitate to contact us.
