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

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.
