Journal Article
Boons, S. (2021). Crystals as co-creators: An investigation of growing crystals as a methodology for jewellery designers. FORMakademisk, 14(2), 1-18. https://doi.org/10.7577/formakademisk.4190

Grown crystals are used for a range of novel innovations supporting a wide array of industries. Within the jewellery industry however, grown crystals are only used in a limited capacity and mainly as a surrogate for mined gemstones. This paper invest...

Retrieving the ancient colours: Artistic practice as a tool for heritage reconstruction (2020)
Journal Article
Vazquez, A. T., Klein, S., Calvet, X. A., & Parraman, C. (2020). Retrieving the ancient colours: Artistic practice as a tool for heritage reconstruction. Color and Imaging Conference, 2020(28), 282-287. https://doi.org/10.2352/issn.2169-2629.2020.28.45

The frieze of the Palace of the stuccoes, dated between the 5 th and 6 th century BC, was a polychrome Maya relief discovered in the 1907 in Yucatán, Mexico. It was documented in watercolours and hand tinted photographs by Adela Breton. After years o...

An evaluation of the transferability of Munsell's colour notation methodology to modern inkjet printing technology (2015)
Journal Article
Olen, M., Geisow, A., & Parraman, C. (2015). An evaluation of the transferability of Munsell's colour notation methodology to modern inkjet printing technology. Proceedings of SPIE, 9395, https://doi.org/10.1117/12.2083333

© 2015 SPIE. This paper examines the transferability of the Munsell system to modern inkjet colorants and printing technology following a similar approach to his original methods. While extensive research and development has gone into establishing me...

Continuous tone printing in silicone from CNC milled matrices (2014)
Journal Article
Hoskins, S., & McCallion, P. (2014). Continuous tone printing in silicone from CNC milled matrices. Proceedings of SPIE, 9018, https://doi.org/10.1117/12.2043123

Current research at the Centre for Fine Print Research (CFPR) at the University of the West of England, Bristol, is exploring the potential of creating coloured pictorial imagery from a continuous tone relief surface. To create the printing matrices... Read More about Continuous tone printing in silicone from CNC milled matrices.

An investigation into the micro surface of artworks using alternative lighting techniques (2014)
Journal Article
Parraman, C., & Tisato, F. (2014). An investigation into the micro surface of artworks using alternative lighting techniques. Proceedings of SPIE, 9018, https://doi.org/10.1117/12.2041209

The objective is to create a micro-environment-an illuminated dome with a constant geometry of illumination-to undertake non invasive observation of the surface topography of artworks. The dome is attached to a stereo-microscope, which is able to gai... Read More about An investigation into the micro surface of artworks using alternative lighting techniques.

The visual appearance and surface texture of materials according to the old masters (2014)
Journal Article
Parraman, C. (2014). The visual appearance and surface texture of materials according to the old masters. Proceedings of SPIE, 9018, https://doi.org/10.1117/12.2041216

Primary components in the colour reproduction of textured materials are firstly, the accurate rendering of the appearance of texture, and secondly the ability to print a surface topology that moves towards 2.5D printing. However, in order to render s... Read More about The visual appearance and surface texture of materials according to the old masters.
