Scenehouse Design 2 course 2015:
Scenehouse students 'shadowed ' the process of designer Chloe Lamford, for the National Theatre of Scotland's Festival '16 production, directed by Vicki Featherstone.  They produced their own designs, after being given the opportunity to speak to Vicki about the play, and visiting the venue - Edinburgh's Traverse theatre.  The students also worked with Dav Bernard, a wonderful video artist, who gave a lecture about video and performance history, and showed us how to do some projection mapping onto model boxes, and other surfaces.
We also (somehow) found time to visit the Edinburgh Fringe festival, and take in a couple of shows!

Scenehouse PAINT 2015

Students on the PAINT course learnt to create marbled and woodgrain effects with tutor Scott MacIntosh. They created two stone columns, with metallic cartouche detailing, and shadow lining. The students then worked on a large canvas, scaling up and copying a detail of a renaissance painting.
