BENEFITS OF VITREOUS ENAMEL A vitreous enamel finish is achieved by fusing glass particles to sheet metal by firing it at temperatures in excess of 800°C. The result is a surface finish that is incredibly hardwearing to all the elements.

LONGEVITY: Enamel lasts up to 4 times longer than standard powder coated panelling. The robust and vibrant qualities of enamel make it unrivalled in surface finishing.

CHEMICAL RESISTANT: Enamel is resistant to virtually all alkali, acids, organic solvents, detergents, neutral saline solutions and is unaffected by kerosene.

GRAFFITI RESISTANT: Graffiti can be easily removed using solvents without affecting the graphics or enamel making it an unrivalled product for the urban environment.

COLOUR-FAST: Enamel stays as vibrant as the day it was produced regardless of the weather conditions. Where standard surface finishes will fade or peel over time enamel is resistant to light, ultra violet (UV) radiation, industrial pollutants, salt sea air and hail.

HYGIENIC: The smooth, hard surface of enamel eliminates the absorption of dirt and grease and the presence and growth of bacteria and mould. In this respect enamel outperforms other materials and coatings, including stainless steel.

HEAT, FIRE AND THERMAL SHOCK RESISTANCE: Enamel is resistant to temperature differentials of between -40°C and 650°C and can withstand rapid cooling without releasing any toxic gasses.

RESISTANCE TO CORROSION: Enamel ensures that the structural integrity of the steel is maintained and potential damage to the substrate is avoided. Panels stay intact even in extreme marine conditions. DIELECTRIC PROPERTIES: Enamel has a high degree of electrical resistance and acts as an excellent insulator, especially at room temperature.

RESISTANCE TO ABRASION: The surface of enamel resists mechanical abrasion and prevents scratching, either accidental or intentional. Enamel is also impervious to attack and damage by rodents and insects LOW MAINTENANCE: The surface requires very simple and only periodic maintenance. Enamel is anti-static and extremely easy to clean.

COST EFFECTIVE: A combination of resilience, vibrancy, low maintenance and exceptional longevity makes enamel one of the most cost effective surface finishes available. ENVIRONMENTAL: The elements that are used to produce both the enamel and the steel base contain very little polluting substances and are fully recyclable.

The photographic design, measuring 3m by 1.5m, is situated in the central ticket hall of Westminster station, and features two of the station’s staff, Maria Sheikh and Danny Molloy, who have both visited the Type 23 frigate and her crew. As official sign makers for the London Underground we were asked to create the mural in vitreous enamel. The artwork was printed using a CMYK 4 colour screen printing process. Due to the size of the piece the printing process was extremely challenging. It is one of the largest hand printed enamel artworks ever produced. George McInulty, Service Director for the Jubilee, Northern and Piccadilly lines said: “We are very proud of our association with 10

ARCHITECTURAL CLADDING

AY L E S B U RY B U S S TAT I O N CLIENT: Buckinghamshire County Council ARTIST: Laura Boswell DATE: 2009

Laura Boswell’s creation for the newly refurbished walls of Aylesbury Bus Station is Europe’s largest piece of original enamelled panel artwork. The vibrant mural of rolling hills and patchwork fields has transformed a once plain, dimly lit underpass. The piece draws inspiration from the landscapes of Aylesbury Vale and lines the sides of Great Western Street, leading into the bus station. Laura Boswell’s work was commissioned by Buckinghamshire County Council following a successful bid by AVDC to Arts Council England for The Art Plus 2007 Award Scheme for art in public places. In an unusual twist to the project Laura hand applied her proposed design directly onto the cladding. Not only did this prove more cost effective and economical than a traditional screenprinting method but Buckinghamshire County Council were essentially buying a completely unique artwork for the district. Studio space was allocated at A.J Wells and the project was incorporated into the factory work-flow so that Laura had 36

full access to facilities and assistance as and when required. Laura created the imagery by projecting and sketching out her carefully planned artwork onto the plain panels before applying the inks. The dimensions of the design and each colour was referenced and recorded should any of the panels need replacing in the future. A.J Wells and Laura worked together in developing a handpainted ‘Scraffito’ technique involving sponging the inks onto the panel, drying and scratching into the surface before finally fusing the enamel to the panel by firing it at over 800°C. Each panel measured 2.4 meters high by 1.2 meters wide with a total of 800 panels of which 400 were handpainted. Another element of the project produced in-house at A.J Wells were the cut steel screens that re-enforce ventilation panels appearing within sections of the artwork. Laura designed these as abstract hedge detailing that was then laser cut in stainless steel. The artwork was unveiled in April 2009.

In 2004 A.J Wells was approached by Diarmuid Gavin Designs to help create an epic garden at the Chelsea Flower Show. The garden featured over 5,000 individually coloured enamelled balls to create a habitable pod within the garden. The project recieved huge media exposure and was filmed for a BBC 2 six part series. Over a intense time frame of just 4 weeks, A.J Wells were followed closely by a film crew as they enamelled the balls. Due to the spherical nature of the balls bespoke spraying and firing jigs were built to enable each ball to be seamlessly enamelled. A range of specialist contrasting colours were developed in-house in conjunction with Diarmuid Gavin and renowned fashion designer Orla Kiely. Once finished the balls were painstaking attached to a fabricated steel framework that formed the Pod. The finished Pod featuring a voice activated opening was placed in a garden of ferns and Japanese aralia. 50

“It is a suburban garden which is about fun. But the planting is very much integral. The pod sits in a bed of ferns - it almost floats there.” Diarmuid Gavin - 2004 Diarmuid Gavin Designs achieved a Silver Gilt award for their garden.

CLIENT: Mel Howse ARTIST: Mel Howse DATE: 2008 - ongoing

Glass artist Mel Howse has taken her experience of working with enamels on glass to working with vitreous enamelled steel at A.J.Wells. In 2008 a Queen Elizabeth Scholarship award gave Mel’s enamelling work an exciting boost, providing the opportunity to diversify and explore new areas. At A.J.Wells she has been exploiting industrial techniques to take the use of enamels in innovative and unconventional directions. Mel explains: “I’m a practical artist and make my own work. The interaction of inquisitive artist with a factory full of smart equipment is leading to a good deal of spontaneous new work”. 52

Mel’s interest lies in the exploration of surface construction and the development of design through its practical application. Using bespoke enamels produced at the factory and having the space to experiment, she has been making new and unique pieces of artwork.

With her latest commission Mel created an enamelled steel font for St Leonard’s Church in Seaford, East Sussex.

Mel has created two architectural pieces of enamelled steel. The 2.2m tall steel columns entitled Equivalents are inspired by the 1935 Paul Nash painting Equivalents for the Megaliths. The Theme explores modernity within an ancient landscape.

My relationship with A.J Wells & Sons started in 2004. It was a new experience for us both, first to see if it was possible to make unique vitreous enamel artwork in such an industrial environment and secondly to see if it was possible to have an artist in residence at their factory in Newport on the Isle of Wight. I was immediately struck by the ‘why not?’ attitude of the staff.

VERA RONNEN

A.J Wells worked with internationally renowned enamel artist Vera Ronnen on a series of large enamelled mural panels for The Skirball Cultural Foundation in Los Angeles, California (architect Moshe Safdie). Ronnen’s work combines medieval and modern industrial enamelling techniques to create unique large-scale architectural works. Enamel colours are applied by sieve to the pre-enamelled surface in several layers, followed by multiple firings. This technique brings out the particularly subtle beauty of the superimposed colours. Powerful 56

opaques and gentle transparents fuse in the kiln over large, industrially enamelled steel surfaces, resulting in a depth that is unique to this process. For the first time in her career Vera Ronnen used commercial signage enamel colour, applied by spray gun and roller, as a base for her powders. This particular project consisted of four large-scale units with dimensions totalling 340 square feet. The artist executed the project over a three week period at the premises of A.J. Wells with the assistance of painter Carmelle Safdie and A.J Wells Project Manager David Knight.

T H E S TA R O F F U T U R E S C O L L E G E CLIENT: Futures College, Southend and Commissions East ARTIST: Adam Bridgland DATE: 2010

‘You Will Have Dignity If You Come Here’ is Adam Bridgland’s first public art commission in the United Kingdom. Bridgland was awarded the funding in 2009 by Futures Community College and Commissions East. Working in collaboration with A.J Wells the work was unveiled to the public in the summer of 2010. The title for the work was inspired by a line in a poem by a student at Futures College. The poem was a response to someone coming to Southend for the first time and was completed when Adam was leading workshops with the students in preparation for the commission. As well as the link to achievement and awards, the star references the lights on Southend’s famous promenade. This is emphasised by the photo-luminescent aluminium frame, that brings the artwork to life at night. 58

A.J Wells created the weathered base using Corten steel. The same material used on Antony Gormley’s Angel of the North sculpture in Gateshead. The rust-like appearance acts as a form of protection when exposed to the elements. The photo-luminescent framing system was designed and engineered at A.J Wells. The installation stands at the entrance to Futures College as an eye-catching sculpture by day and night that will be resistant to all weather types for many years to come.

KEY FEATURES: • Vibrant and durable sculpture • Weather resistant A.J WELLS SERVICES: • Design & manufacture of weathered Corten steel base • Design & manufacture of photoluminescent framing system • Screenprinting and enamelling of star graphics

The steel star is laser cut, enamelled and hand printed with serveral layers of colour.

Further layering of colour and firing takes place.

The ‘orange slice’ graphic is screenprinted.

Then the panel is fired fusing the enamel inks creating a vibrant and weather resistant graphic on the face of the star.

The corten steel base is fabicated and sand blasted to strip off its initial protective layer.

Weathering takes place over a period of weeks creating a rust-like protective layer.

The internal frame is fabricated and the star is assembled

The photo-luminescent paint is applied to the external frame and tested in the darkroom.

The finished star is packaged and sent to the college for installation.

L E E J R OW L A N D ’ S P O K E R TA B L E CLIENT: Lee J Rowland DESIGNER: Lee J Rowland DATE: 2010

Lee J Rowland is a design engineer with a taste for the luxurious. Rowland was commissioned by Jez San of PKR to design a poker-come-dining table. The result was a super slim skeletal enamelled structure through which the table centre gyroscopically rotates - transforming from a dining table to a poker table. At almost 3 metres in length the oval table seats around 10 guests, features a generous curved vitreous enamel cowling and is wired with the patented motor technology provided by Maxon. This technology was been used in the table drive system. The ideas and requirements for the table were finalised in June 2009. After researching various finishes Rowland found nothing to be of sufficient durability other than enamel. The high quality of the material, combined with excellent craftsmanship, has led to this spectacular and stunning creation.

KEY FEATURES: • Large rotating poker/dining table with vitreous enamel cowling and surface A.J WELLS SERVICES: • Curved fabricated steel table • Enamelled surface

BASILDON

CLIENT: Essex council TYPE: Freestanding letters DATE: 2010

It might lack the glamour, the glitz, the studios and the stars. But the Essex town of Basildon is, in its own small way, living the Hollywood dream. In a reference to the sign which overlooks the world’s movie capital Basildon has erected it’s name in white letters on a roundabout at the entrance to the town.

The letters stand at around 5ft high and were produced in vitreous enamel by A.J Wells. While the sign has been subjected to a certain degree of ridicule the letters themselves were quite an engineering design feat. For each letter two sheets of steel were welded together end to end to create a seamless join.

KEY FEATURES: • Use of invisible weld technique A.J WELLS SERVICES: • Metal fabrication and laser profiling • Vitreous enamelling.

The controversial Basildon letters featured on BBC’s ‘Have I got news for you’.

Paul Merton and the rest of the panel poked fun at the sign joking ‘It turns out Hollywood is not in America ... it’s in Essex.’

They continue to ridicule the sign comparing Basildon with Hollywood.

A headline from one of the tabloid papers.

They make a comparison between Hollywood....

... and Basildon, saying that Hollywood hosts the Oscars whilst Basildon hosts the Basildon and Pitsea carnival.

D AV I D K N I G H T CLIENT: David Knight ARTIST: David Knight DATE: 2004 - ongoing

David Knight is an Isle of Wight based artist working predominantly in vitreous enamel. “My work utilises strong graphic imagery to communicate a story. I incorporate industrial processes such as vitreous enamelling to create larger works, as well as more traditional forms of mark making and print. I utilise a multitude of mediums to communicate the everyday as well as the totally out of the ordinary.”

American pineapple bombs and enamelled the casings at over 800oC. The idea was to take this brutal piece of destructive design and turn it into something aesthetically and tangibly beautiful.

With a rare mix of a fine art background and four years as an industrial enameller he is inspired by process driven mediums as well as the freedom of simply putting pen to paper.

KEY FEATURES: • Artist in residence at A.J Wells • Enamelled art

OTHER PROJECTS

AG A R E - E N A M E L L I N G CLIENT: Private customers TYPE: Re-enamelling 1

A.J Wells offer a complete re-enamelling service on cast iron range cookers, baths, stoves and cooker parts. Vitreous enamel is an exceptional surface finish ideal for these types of product due to its heat resilience, stability and hygienic properties.

This storyboard demonstrates the process we took to re-enamel an old Aga range cooker. The customer supplied a traditional Cream and Blue Aga to be re-enamelled in British Racing Green with raised Cream lettering.

A ground-coat of powdered glass enamel is applied to the metal. All our enamels are milled and colour matched in-house

Once stripped the cast iron parts are taken to the enamel spray booth.

The ground-coat is dried and then moved to the furnace where it fuses to the cast iron at a temperature of 800˚C over 40 minutes.

The cast iron frontage, doors and top are shot-blasted to remove the existing Cream enamel, stripping the cast iron back to its raw state.

For this particular Aga an undercoat of Cream is then applied that will later be exposed to form the raised lettering.

Once it has cooled a third coat of British Racing Green is applied.

This is dried but before firing the Green is carefully removed to expose the Cream lettering beneath.

11 10

The components are then dried and returned to the furnace for a second firing.

The components are then returned to the furnace for a third and final firing.

The re-enamelling process is now complete.

The components are carefully packaged and returned to the customer.

I M P E R I A L WA R M U S E U M CLIENT: Imperial War Museum TYPE: Exterior museum signage DATE: 1990 - 2005

The Imperial War Museum is a British national museum organisation with branches at five locations in England, three of which are in London. The museum was founded during the First World War in 1917 and intended as a record of the war effort and sacrifice of Britain and her Empire. Today the museum gives its mission as: “To enable people to have an informed understanding of modern war and its impact 80

on individuals and society”. A.J Wells produced the signage for the London Imperial War Museum during the early 1990s. In 2005 some of the signage was updated to include new information. These iconic signs are excellent examples of long lasting vitreous enamelled signage.

KEY FEATURES: • Durable, low maintenance signage A.J WELLS SERVICES: • Metal fabrication • Vitreous enamelling • Screenprinting

E X T R A O R D I N A RY H E R O E S CLIENT: Imperial War Museum TYPE: Gallery display pieces DATE: 2010

A.J Wells were asked by London’s Imperial War Museum to produce 240 small enamelled portraits for a permanent exhibition housed in the new Lord Ashcroft gallery. The enamelled portraits are all recipients of the Victoria Cross and George Cross and are displayed alongside medals and information on each individual. Working alongside Graphic Thought Facility, a London based design consultant, A.J Wells developed a way of displaying the portraits consistently. As the plates were to be exposed to continuous lighting vitreous enamel was specified for its non-fade qualities. A.J Wells applied enamel transfers to pressed plates with curved edges – an effect that could not be achieved with conventional screenprinting. Threaded studs were soldered to the underside of the plates enabling them to be fixed to the display with relative ease.

KEY FEATURES: • Long lasting, non-fade enamel • Strength against permanent light exposure A.J WELLS SERVICES: • Metal fabrication • Vitreous enamelling • Printed transfers • Fixture soldering

The exhibition opened in November 2010.

VA N D A L R E S I S TA N T E N A M E L Graffiti can be easily removed from vitreous enamelled panels using solvents without affecting the graphics or enamel. This makes it an unrivalled product for the urban environment. 1

As a demonstation a vitreous enamel line diagram panel is placed alongside a pre-coated aluminium roundel and a powder coated aluminium directional sign.

All 3 signs are graffitied with spray paints ...

... and scratched with keys and coins. The vitreous enamel cannot be marked.

This represents the kind of vandalism that these signs could be subjected to in the urban environment.

The paint is left for 1 hour to dry before being wiped with standard graffiti removing chemicals

The chemical agent removes the spray paint with relative ease ...

... but in doing so the graphics on the pre-coated and powdercoated aluminium are also affected and start to wipe off.

The graphics on the vitreous enamel however remain intact and unaffected.

Regardless of how hard the panel is scrubbed it remains in pristine condition.

The enamel panel is restored to its orginal condition with no damage to the surface.

In the working enviroment the pre-coated and powder-coated aluminium signage would need replacing as the graphics are severly damaged.
