Jingle all the way.

Well its the last day of the MA term so we would like to wish everybody a very happy christmas from all of us in the Wood Workshop here at Chelsea College. Have a good one and see you in the new year.

The Alphabet visits the Wood Workshop

It was great to see all those letters that have been made with us here in the Wood Workshop, return for a photo shoot, along with the makers, 1st year Graphics. The idea was simple. Lets spell out our blog name Workbench. Well you'd have thought it was simple but after about five minutes of gentle chaos we got there. Thank you to all the students and to Nigel Bents for organising another successful first term. See you all for crazy golf building in the spring!

Ok. We have all the letters.  Lets spell Workbench 

Getting there 

Right. So now that you have scattered the other letters how about we now spell Workbench! 

Thats better. But what about the full stop? 

Nice! 

Now go put them around the workshop

Nigel getting involved  

Great! 

Final week of term

Well it seems like only yesterday we were admiring our tans in the Wood Workshop and welcoming the students back for the new term. Now, clad in several layers fighting back the cold snap, we are into the last week of the BA term before the Christmas break. Below are a few images taken in the past few days.

A busy morning was had by John cutting all these mitred pieces ready to assemble into boxes.

MA Fine Art student Nick, hand drills his holes into hard wood. Hard work more like but it was all part of the required process. 

and then the final glue up ready to insert his test tubes which were used to gather the sawdust that was created whilst drilling the holes. 

Some very nice laser cut letters ready to try a bit of embossing.
