The first few days of term

After a couple of weeks of putting our workshop back into shape after the MA students have departed, it's that time of year again when we welcome the students back and meet the new ones. In between group orientations we have seen a steady flow of students heading in to start their making. Below are some images taken from the last few days.

Lots of this in the past few days. Weng explains to the new ISD Graduate Diploma students how things work with us in the Wood Workshop

The library will benefit from these planters just as soon as they get filled with some lovely plants

Fine Art graduate Mimi Winsor is back in the Wood workshop, having won the This Is This art commission. Her piece entitled Grinding the Wind will be on display in the chelsea parade ground until early November.

Weng seems to be doing all the work!

Some experimental vacuum  forming seems to be coming out rather well.

 

That Which Is Unseen

As the new BA year begins, the Wood Workshop team start with a heartfelt and well deserved congratulations to MA Interior Design graduate Reuben Nanda for his recent award for his fabulous film 'That Which Is Unseen'. We enjoyed helping him through much of his time at Chelsea as he worked on various camera rigs and structures.
At end of September his film won the best experimental short film award in the Architectural film festival in Lisbon. The film will now go on tour worldwide.
