MADMAX22 Report post Posted November 4, 2009 Definatly some cool looking art. Thanks for sharing. Whats with the no pictures thing. I dont get that. Theres a glass blowing place I visited and everything on display was the same way, no pictures. Not like flashes are gonna hurt glass. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Suze Report post Posted November 4, 2009 there are probably "no pictures" because they SELL books with all the items pictured..... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

UKRay Report post Posted November 4, 2009 Oh yeah forgot what kind of world we live in. No pictures because the exhibition is in a museum where there are plenty of other exhibits that could be damaged by light. Also, museums are pretty cautious about people taking photographs that include their security arrangements... ...and because they sell books that have pictures in 'em!

Ray Sorry Ray I didnt mean to get off topic. Im just use to being in museums (some pretty nice ones) that allowed photos of there work, they still sell photo books but that was so you could have professional pictures instead of the ones you took. I have scene ones that dont allow flashes and what not. It wasnt until more recently (past 15 years) that they seemed to force people not to take photos to ensure they sold there books of there work. Its just kind of a sore spot with me I guess. Ahh well, thanks for sharing the link with us, makes me interested to see if they have one in the Seattle area for something like this.

Daggrim Report post Posted November 5, 2009 Dude...thanks for the links. Jake Von Slatt's videos, and his generous sharing of how he built his projects is very...well, I almost said inspirational, but I think maybe it'd be more steampunkish to say that he primes my envy generator. I feel like I'm ten years behind this steampunk movement, and eager to catch up. Where do these guys sell their stuff? Dag Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TomBanwell Report post Posted November 5, 2009 Thanks for the post, Ray. I have a blog where I write about my leatherworking process. If you go back far enough you'll see my step-by-step on making several of the pieces on display at the Oxford Exhibition. http://tombanwell.blogspot.com/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
