The Late sessions, Part 2 and other things

The past week has seen a steady flow of students from many differing courses down making with us. The second of the late sessions went well with an increase on numbers from the previous week. This time around we focused on fixed machinery and the students, most of whom had little or no experience with these types of machines, then enjoyed the making session at the end. Below are some images taken last night and form the previous week.

At the end of the evening the students got to pin onto a board the shapes that had been made.

Some really accurate pillar drilling on show here.

Aixin from BA Fine Art says, if you can make one large canvas then you might as well make three!
