This three-day course will start with an introduction to the principles of laser cutting. You will learn how to create stencils from a range of materials including paper, card and plastic film and by the end of the workshop you should have a comprehensive understanding of how to prepare designs to send to commercial laser-cutting services. Once you have prepared your stencils you will be able to produce a series of enamel samples on copper and steel using sifting and wet process enamels that will be fired in the large kiln. The course aims to suit those who are interested in incorporating the laser as part of their practice and is suitable for those without previous experience of working in enamel and laser cutting although a practical background working within art and design is recommended. Full technical support will be given throughout the duration of the course.

Indian Head Massage is derived from the most basic form of touch therapy. The natural tendency to rub something better has been formalised over thousands of years to develop into the system of therapeutic touch that we know today as massage. Thermal Auricular Therapy (also known as Hopi ear candling) is a pleasant, non-invasive treatment of the ears which is used to treat a variety of conditions. During treatment, the client lies on their side and the lit candle is gently twisted into the auditory canal. The candle is held vertically in this position until it has burned down, this takes approximately 10 mins and is then gently removed. The process is repeated for the other ear. After this an ear and face massage is given to help clear ear and nasal passages. This treatment is both therapeutic and relaxing and the client may find afterwards that they can hear and breath more easily. Sessions 18, 23 and 30 March.

The commercial value of technical innovations can only be maximised by a business if appropriate steps are taken to protect its competitive position. Legal tools - patents, copyright, registered designs and trademarks - can give strong protection of intellectual property (IP) as long as their limitations and costs are well understood. However strategic steps can also be effective. Secrecy, sticky products, brands, continual improvement and control of routes to market can all help maintain a leading competitive position based on innovative products.
At this BEN event we explore this theme from the perspective of both entrepreneurs and IP professionals, to help you find the right mix of legal and strategic elements for your own business strategy.

Admission: Free

Current accounts of intersubjectivity, with a focus on the development of self-consciousness in individuals with autism. Typically described as isolated, detached, and as displaying limited self-awareness, this talk will introduce the notion that such individuals may also experience heightened forms of self-awareness, and that many of the symptoms associated the condition may be related to an overly permeable sense of self at the embodied level, which may lead to difficulties in affective and pragmatic relations with others.
