The University of the Arts London, formerly known as the London Institute, is a collegiate university comprising six internationally recognised art, design, fashion and media colleges in London, England. The constituent colleges are Camberwell College of Arts, Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design, Chelsea College of Art and Design, London College of Communication,

London College of Fashion and Wimbledon College of Art. The university is Europe's largest provider of education in art, design, fashion, communication and the performing arts.

The University of the Arts London logo is made up of six stars which represent the geographical location of the six constituent Colleges across London - a unique creative constellation. The angled text of the university logo is inspired by many things, including the angle between pen and paper, and reflects that as a unique university, they look at things in a different way.

University of the Arts London Video

PART ONE - Sand Casting Process with Philip White and Jenny Dunseath in the foundry at Camberwell college of Art London. Video by Chris Follows part of the Process Arts Project - process.arts.ac.uk - University of the arts London: In this video: 1. Prepare a Pattern. This must be made of a smooth solid substance to withstand ramming, for example sealed wood or plaster. 2. To prepare the Mold: divide the flask (wooden box, made of 2 parts- (top) Cope and (bottom) Drag). Turn over the Drag Face down on a board. 3. Place the pattern in the upturned Drag. Ensure there is enough space around the pattern for Gating (room for runner and Sprue- pouring hole for the metal) 4. Dust with Parting Agent to prevent it sticking. (Parting agent is a hydrophobic material which repels moisture eg crushed limestone. 5. Use a fine riddle (large sieve) to just cover the pattern. 6. Use a Paddle to ram the sand, lightly at first to protect the pattern, and then harder to compress the sand. 7. Fill with sand, and ram it until full. Level off and smooth with a trowel. 8. Turn over the compressed Drag and the pattern will be immersed in sand. 9. Put the Cope on the Drag and bolt together 10. Repeat steps 4-7. Take care not to ram the sand too hard as to affect the Drag below. 11. Take Cope off and set it aside. You should be able to see an imprint of your Pattern. Depending on its location use your hole-cutter and cut a Sprue hole by placing your hand on the back of the Cope and push hole cutter <b>...</b>

Video by Chris Follows part of the Process Arts Project - process.arts.ac.uk - University of the arts London Text Information supplied by Jenny Dunseath: 11. Take Cope off and set it aside. You should be able to see an imprint of your Pattern. Depending on its location use your hole-cutter and cut a Sprue hole by placing your hand on the back of the Cope and push hole cutter through the other side, twisting slightly. 12. Widen the Sprue hole on the top of the Cope, to enable the metal to flow. Ensure all edges are smoothed and there is no loose sand. 13. Tap on the Pattern to loosen, use a screw to take Pattern out. 14. With a set of Bellows blow out all loose sand, make sure everything is smooth. 15. Place your flask back together and pour your metal! 16. After pouring wait for the material to solidify. The amount of time this takes will depend on the size and density of the piece of metal you are creating. Large, dense pieces of metal will take more time to solidify than smaller pieces.

For the oil cores I used a mixture of silica sand and fine sharp sand, about 50% of each.To this mixture was added 3% of boiled linseed oil and then well mixed plus a small amount of water, just to slightly dampen it and make it more usable. This mix was quite soft and difficult to get out of the mould without breaking, so I added about 50% green sand which seemed to work OK. The resulting cores should then be baked to harden or in this case put on a metal plate on top of the furnace after a pour had taken place. As the cores were cylindrical, after about half an hour I moved the cores along the metal plate to distribute the heat more evenly, as the furnace was cooling down. They were then left on the cooling furnace until the next day. As for the cores that were hardened by CO2, again a mixture of silica sand 60% and fine sharp sand 40%, to this was added about 3% of sodium silicate, which was quite difficult to mix in, plus a small amount of water to make it usable.
