Interest has grown considerably but we have some way to go before we can consider that Primodise is really “out there”. The response from those who have produced work in anodised aluminium however is excellent and we are currently broadening the appeal. Our customer base is growing.

 

Artist Phil Ogden now includes Primodise versions of his chalk and charcoal drawings in his portrait portfolio, discovering that the process captures the subtlety and clarity of his originals. At the other end of the scale botanical artist Marian Durrans watercolour floral plates are vividly reproduced by the four- colour process and sealed into aluminium are suitably weatherproofed for outdoor display.

 

 

A recent educational/community art project for Cannock School in Staffordshire produced ten large artworks which were designed by the children to be fitted in local underpasses.

 

Meanwhile we are now producing art/jewellery for Jane Adam and others who have discovered the “factory” principle, originally advocated by Andy Warhol, is alive and well and living in Thirsk.

 

During June and July 2009, GSM opened its doors to local artists, hosting a series of open days to allow those working in creative industries to see the processes and products first hand. We believe that discussion amongst the artists themselves is the best way to spread the word. This has generated interest across a range of disciplines: architects, community artists, metal sculpturers and indviduals who are looking for something genuinely new to advance their artistic and professional aspirations.
