This filming was obviously subject to social distancing requirements and risk assessments were undertaken prior to it taking place. The video that was created from this activity then formed the basis of an online webinar and Q&A session on 23rd April with representatives of the railway industry including Network Rail, a potential user of this technology.

  • Gavin Renshaw, Caliban (2020)
    Gavin Renshaw, Caliban (2020) 1 Introduction As part of the Courtauld National Partners Programme, artist and illustrator Gavin Renshaw was commissioned by the Harris Museum, Art Gallery and Library as part of a series to create works in response to aspects of Courtaulds Ltd heritage in Preston. He uncovered the fascinating story of Caliban, a steam engine brought into commission in 1937 to shunt raw materials around the Courtaulds Ltd Red Scar factory in Preston. After 30 years of neglect, the engine is currently being painstakingly restored by The Furness Railway Trust. In this resource, Gavin explains a number of observational drawing techniques and uses his work documenting the restoration of Caliban to show how they can be used to help depict the narrative of a subject. “I have depicted Caliban in its current state, spread across the engine works in various levels of assembly. Some parts untouched while other sections are fully painted and refurbished. The imagery, like Caliban in Shakespeare’s The Tempest, is fragmented: some components are massed together while others sit in isolation, corroded abstracts.” Above and above right: Gavin Renshaw, Caliban (2020). Below: refurbishment in progress, below left: Caliban in its former glory, Ribble Steam Railway and Museum. 2 2 In context Here’s an example of how the exercises that follow and other graphic techniques can help to drive a narrative within your drawings. This is a study from my drawings of Caliban in the workshop at Ribble Steam Railway and Museum, featuring two engineers inspecting some components. I initially made a number of sketches on site and took some photographs for reference.
